Triple Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats

I love my two nephews dearly.  One is almost five years old and his brother (also my godson) is two and a half years old.  It’s only fitting that my two sweeties love sweets, especially chocolate and more specifically M&Ms.  I had them in mind when I created these Triple Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats.     🙂 These snap, crackle, and pop treats are packed with sweet chocolate in every bite because of the three kinds of chocolate in it, the Cocoa Rice Krispies, mini chocolate chips, and mini M&Ms. Tripe Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats Recipe (Makes 15 servings) Ingredients: 3 tablespoons butter 1 package …
