Hi Bold Bakers!
Who out there can say no to a sweet, chewy, toasty Rice Krispies Treat? Classic Rice Krispies Treats are made of 3 simple ingredients: Rice Krispies cereal, butter and marshmallows–whoever invented them is a genius! Ever since I was young, Rice Krispies Treats have been one of my all time favorite no bake desserts!
While the classic Rice Krispies Treat is great on its own I decided to go Big and Bold and create a recipe for a Snicker’s Rice Krispies Treat! You heard me right, this variation has all the caramel, peanut and chocolate goodness we all love in Snicker’s bars.
These Snicker’s Rice Krispies Treats look amazing, and taste over the top. Yet, they only take a few simple steps to make. After I mix up a batch of classic Rice Krispies Treats, I top them with layers of melted caramel candies, salted peanuts and melted chocolate. After a quick set up in the fridge I cut these into thick squares and dig in!
Wow, are these addicting! They are the perfect balance of salty and sweet, chewy and chocolatey. You will not believe how delicious these Snicker’s Rice Krispies treats are.

Deeeeeeelicious!! I’m on a Low carb and no sugar Keto diet but I couldn’t help eating these as I made them for my kids (they helped to make too as it was so easy to do). I have a 8×8 tin so I divided the recipe by half. It was perfect. Added a few more peanuts and just used the whole bag of chocolate chips (250g) even though half the recipe is 170g. Thought I might as well just finish the bag! You can’t have too much chocolate!
in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wux41AMCMww&feature=emb_logo) you have 3 recipes, but i only see here 1, where could i found the other recipe?
Is the caramel hard toffee in Uk ? X
Hi Gemma, I have an 8×8 square tin. Would this work?
Hey Gemma! I made the recipe and it just got as hard as a stone! why did this happen? ????
Oh my goodness!!!! Made these for a work potluck and they were gone in minutes!! Normal rice crispy treats have taken a back seat to this one!!!!!!
Hi Gemma
I just made the snickers rice Krispy bars and OMG they are divine. I couldn’t get caramel sweets so I just made my own caramel using condensed milk, brown sugar, butter and water. I cut up some into bars and stored in the fridge and stored the rest in the freezer. I have made loads of your recipes and the kids and I love watching your videos. I’m going to make your 10 min tiramisu next for my niece’s 1st birthday party, for the adults of course. Thanks again.
Do you know of any caramel sweets in the uk? Would rolos work?
Dear Gemma,
