Mmm coffee + chocolatey gooeyness = 🙂

I love dessert. Chocolate. AND coffee. Lots of coffee. Even more than all of these is these flavors blending into gooey, marhsmallow rice krispies, so this dessert is obviously going to win my heart over. My roommates sure did love them too. The secret to the healthier-ish, gluten free marshmallows used? The brand called SmashMallow, a simply made marshmallow by a California company. The marshmallows are heavenly! They come in a variety of flavors, including espresso bean, cinnamon churro (the absolute BEST flavor!), mint chocolate chip, strawberries and cream, toasted pineapple and coconut, and root beer float. Seriously, get your hands on the cinnamon churro, espresso bean, and mint choc chip. TO. DIE. FOR.

And as for the base? The perfectly crispy brown rice crisp cereal by Erewhon. Low fat, 100% whole grain, less than 1g of sugar, and gluten free. So easy! The perfect pantry staple to keep on hand whenever you need a snack, go-to breakfast, or perfect base for rice krispy treats. 😉
