Snickers Rice Krispies Treats
Ever since I was a kid, I have adored Rice Krispies Treats. There was always something so satisfying about the combination of crispy cereal with gooey, chewy marshmallows. In grade school, my mom would make them as an occasional treat, following the directions on the back of the box. One summer during middle school when we went to the beach, my mom surprised us with some “fun” cereals, which we usually were not allowed to eat at home. Among the boxes was Rice Krispies Treats cereal. Possibly one of the most underrated cereals of all-time. Then in high school, they came out with the pre-packaged Rice Krispies Treats, which were not nearly as good as the ones mom whipped up, but they were quick and easy, so I was sold.
Once I started spending a lot of time in my own kitchen, I would make a batch of classic Rice Krispies treats every now and then for get-togethers. Then I discovered the world of amped-up Rice Krispies Treats; versions with peanut butter cups, white chocolate and pretzels came flying out of the kitchen. Suddenly, it seemed I was long overdue for a peanut/caramel/chocolate variation. No more.
I played around with the original recipe, adding caramel sauce, peanuts and chopped Snickers bars to the mix. As if that wasn’t enough, I topped it all off with a chocolate-peanut butter glaze and more chopped peanuts.
The result? Quite possibly the best Rice Krispies Treats to ever come out of my kitchen. They’re insanely gooey with just enough crunch, and packed full of sweet and salty flavors. I really haven’t grown up much since I was first introduced to Rice Krispies Treats; give me one of these babies and you’ll be sure to see some marshmallow and chocolate on my face ;-)

Did you make this recipe?
Rice Krispies treats loaded with caramel sauce, peanuts and chopped Snickers bars, then topped with a chocolate/peanut butter glaze.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside.
Melt the butter and marshmallows together in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in the caramel sauce and remove from the heat.
Stir in the Rice Krispies until they are evenly coated with the sauce. Working quickly, stir in the peanuts and chopped Snickers bars, mixing as gently as possible.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press into an even layer. Use the back of a greased wooden spoon to press down firmly over the surface of the treats to ensure that they are packed down tightly.
Melt together the chocolate chips and peanut butter in the microwave on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds, until completely smooth and melted. Pour the chocolate/peanut butter mixture over the Rice Krispies treats and spread into an even layer with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until set. Cut into bars and serve. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator (room temperature for softer, more gooey bars; refrigerator for firmer bars).

You got me at sweet and salty! Love this, Michelle! :)
The pictures make me want to try to make this.
I love RKTreats!!! I did a big post about them about 2-3 weeks ago about how I think I found my end all-be all recipe. Til I see yours :) Seriously that last shot…that’s my heaven. They look amazing and I love a good old fashioned Snickers bar, too!
We have always been Rice Krispie treats fans, but only the traditional ones. (until now!)) We made them often, as summer treat when our daughter was growing up. This new version is going to be dessert this Sunday when our NE Pats host the AFC Championship here and we host a group of neighbors to watch the game ! Thanks., Michelle. BTW—-the Bruins are back in training camp this week—can the start of the hockey season be far behind? *_*
I cannot wait to try these on a friend of mine, he is a serious snickers hater but an RKT fan, should be interesting to see what his opinion is. As for myself, Im currently on a January fat fight so these photos are killing me, they look ahhhmazing!
Ohhhhh what are you doing to me?! My little boys will be over the moon about these!! I LOVE Rice Krispies Treats!!! Did you know that I saw a giant sheet of the pre-packaged (blech) Rice Krispies Treats in the gas station; a huge stack of them, each larger than a 9 X 13 pan and they were like $20 each! It totally blew my mind.
Oh my goodness! I’m an elementary school teacher and always looking for new treats to make for special times in my classroom… my kids would go crazy for these! That may or may not be a good thing :) but I think I’ll have to try them just the same!
Oh wow, you’ve really outdone yourself with this one girl! That last photo is killing me – I want to reach through the screen and grab a bite :)

Yessss, Rice Krispies Treats cereal was pretty much just a sugar party for your mouth and it was so good! I love the idea of snickers rice krispies treats! So creative, but it doesn’t seem too much harder to make than the plain ones :)
