My husband says these taste like Cherry Bing Bars. I take his word for it as I don’t remember what those taste like. What I do know:
- They taste like Cherry.
- They taste like Dark Chocolate.
- They’re crispy and addicting!
If that’s what Cherry Bing Bars taste like, then sign me up!
They’re ridiculously easy to make. So much so that our 5 and 6 year old helps me make them. Just a few ingredients.
Melt some butter and marshmallows on the stove.
Add some Cherry jell-o flavoring.
Add Rice Krispie cereal.
Form into a 9×13 pan.
Top with melted chocolate.
That’s it! Just gotta wait for that chocolate to set, then cut into bars!
