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.
