Begin by mixing 1 cup oats, 2 cups Rice Krispies, and 1 cup marshmallows into a 9x3x3" baking tray.
In a small saucepan heat up 1 cup corn syrup on a medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of cocoa, 1/4 cup of sugar, a TSP of salt, and an optional 1-2 TBSPs of nut butter. Stir regularly until it reaches a low boil.
Once corn syrup mixture has been at a low boil for a few minutes turn off the heat. Immediately pour in oats, krispies, and marshmallow mixture and stir to coat. Once coated, pour mixture back into baking tray. Cover with saran wrap and use a spatula to compress mixture.
Let cool, cut, and serve.
