Master chocolatier Jacques Torres has teamed up with Howdini to demonstrate how to make chocolate covered corn flake treats. It’s as easy as Rice Krispy treats, but a lot more decadent!
You start off by melting your chocolate over a double boiler and tempering it a bit as it cools down. Then you add a few cups of corn flakes to a bowl, add your melted chocolate and mix. It doesn’t get easier than that!

Man, I’m having a hard time coming up with chocolate content the last few days! This time of year especially I want to curl up on the couch with some coffee, the kids and husband, a good movie and the glow from the Christmas tree.

Chocolate Rice Krispy Treats
1/4 cup butter
2-3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 pkg. (10 oz., about 40) regular marshmallows or 4 c. miniature marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 teaspoon …read more
