Triple Chocolate Cocoa Puffs Crispy Treats

Triple chocolate Cocoa Puffs crispy treats are perfect for any chocolate lover – and they don’t require turning the oven on!

TRIPLE chocolate.

TRIPLE!

Three times the chocolate. 3X. THREE TIMES.

About these Cocoa Puffs treats:

Okay. Now that we’re all on the same page. These no bake bars have THREE cups of chocolate chips in addition to yummy cocoa puffs. They’re crispy, chewy, and clearly full of chocolate.

Want to know where I hide the chocolate? One cup of chocolate chips is stirred in with the cereal so you get crunchy bites of the chocolate.

Another cup of chocolate chips is mixed in and melted with the marshmallows to form the “glue” that holds this all together. Tasty glue, huh?

And then the final cup of chocolate chips is melted and spread over the top, because, well, duh. We need more chocolate here in this situation.

I like to sprinkle a little coarse sea salt on top of the bars. It’s totally up to you but sweet and salty? So good!

No special equipment is needed to make these cereal bars. The process is similar to Rice Krispie treats. You’ll need a sauce pan to melt the marshmallows and chocolate, a big bowl to mix everything together, and an 8×8 inch pan to press them into. 

Allow them to cool an hour or so to let the chocolate firm up a little, unless you really like ooey, gooey, messy treats. 

Make these cereal bars your own:

You can get pretty creative with this recipe.

• Substitute another crispy cereal if you don’t like or can’t find Cocoa Puffs.
• Try substituting white chocolate or peanut butter chips for some or all of the chocolate chips.
• Stir another goodie of your choice with the cereal, like raisins, dried cranberries, bits of peppermint candy, etc.

• ▢ sprinkle of fine sea salt for dusting, optional
