Rice Petit Fours

I have to keep reminding myself that I'm giving these to people for Christmas... Because I can't stop eating them. I've always loved Rice Krispies Treats, so adding a layer of melted bittersweet chocolate is dangerous. In the most delicious way.

The best part of this recipe? It was Benjamin's suggestion, and he helped me make them. We had an awesome time. As you can see, especially once we were done pressing the rice mixture into the pan (done, of course, with a chef's best tools: clean hands).
