Nutella Rice Krispy Treats

This is a recipe that I found while perusing Pinterest a few weeks ago. It looked super quick and easy, and the addition of Nutella really intrigued me. I seriously love that stuff, and had just happened to purchase a Costco size bottle last month! :) Since I had all the ingredients on hand I thought I might give it a whirl... Nevermind I had no reason to make these, my husband doesn't eat chocolate, and I had no one in mind to share them with! I'm pregnant, thats my excuse.

Nutella Rice Krispy Treats

• 5 Cups Rice Krispies Cereal
• 1 (10.5 oz) Bag Mini Marshmallows
• 1/4 Cup Butter
• 1 Cup of Nutella

• 1 Cup Milk Chocolate Chips
• 1 Cup Nutella
• 1 TBSP. Shortening

Measure out Rice Krispies cereal into a large bowl and set aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, 

melt butter and marshmallows together until smooth.

Once marshmallows and butter have melted together,

 add 1 cup Nutella and stir until well combined.

Pour marshmallow mixture over the cereal.

Stir to coat evenly.

Press into a greased pan  

(I used a 9x13 inch pan, but you can use whatever pan you would like to)

Topping:

Heat 1 cup Nutella, chocolate chips and shortening in a double boiler 
over medium/medium low heat until smooth.

Spread over the top of Rice Krispy Treats.

Stick in the fridge and let it set up.

Eat and Enjoy!
