Nutella-Rice Krispie-Marshmallow-Chocolate Traybake

I am terrible at coming up with cute or quirky names for things. I think it comes from the fact that I am not the most imaginative person out there. What is in it is what’s in it. And that’s what it should be called, for clarity. </robot voice>

Now, these little crunchy, chewy, chocolaty bars are just perfect, despite not having a better name. And everyone knows that I love a traybake. Traybakes are probably my favourite thing to make - they are universally delicious and easy to make. Let's face it - normally it is just stirring random ingredients together with chocolate to make it all stick together.

I think because the ingredients are so perfect, that that’s why I can’t think of a better name for it.  Each ingredient addition is better than the last, and each one works with the others to form morsels of pure food gold. A real treat of a recipe, it’s not fancy and it’s not complex, but tastes fantastic and extremely naughty (not diet-friendly, soz). I mean, how else is food held together with a marshmallow glue supposed to taste?

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp coconut oil or butter
• 280g marshmallows
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 100g Nutella (homemade if you have it!)
• 120g rice krispies
• ½ cup mini marshmallows
• 80g chocolate chips
• 60g Nutella

Method

Melt half the coconut oil or butter and add the marshmallows and salt. When nearly melted, stir in the rest of the coconut oil and the Nutella.

Stir until melted through completely.

Place the rice krispies in the pot and stir to mix well. Add in the marshmallows and chocolate chips.

Mix well and press into a tin. Melt the last of the Nutella and drizzle on top for a descendant and unnecessary (but oh so welome) flourish.

Looks like one of the herd got separated from the others. He won't survive alone. So I ate him.
