Chocolate Nutty Crispy Treats

This is a unique, highly-addictive variant of the traditional 'chocolate rice crispy treat.' You can do this 2 ways: Mix the chocolate chips into the rice to have chocolate throughout, or wait until the treats cool, then spread melted chocolate chips on top and cool for a hard, shell-like frosting. I prefer the latter...
