    Now that Mother nature has made Spring Break pretty awful, no better time to make the best Snickers rice krispie treats! These are not your traditional rice krispie treats and are actually made without marshmallows. Don't worry, they taste even better!

    The bottom layer consists of melted snickers bars, butter, and light corn syrup, and rice krispies. Second layer is a caramel sauce and the top consists of melted milk chocolate and peanut butter. The best copycat Snicker bar alive!

    Snickers rice krispie treats.

    I am a lover of all things rice krispie treats, but adding Snickers to them was the icing on the cake! My inspiration for making these was that they are more non-traditional than traditional rice krispie treats, are simple to make, and are the perfect comfort food!

    Ingredients

    • Snickers bars: fun sized or mini
    • Rice krispies
    • Light corn syrup
    • Milk chocolate
    • Caramel sauce: I used store bought for this recipe, but homemade can be used as well
    • Peanut butter: creamy or chunky

    Step by Step instructions

    First, if you don't have mini snickers, chop up the fun sized ones into 2-3 pieces each. Line 8x8 square baking pan with parchment paper, overhanging on the sides. Add about half of the chopped up snickers, unsalted butter, and light corn syrup to a large pot. Melt all ingredients on medium until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat. Add rice krispies and other chopped up snickers to a bowl and set aside.

    Welcome

    About me Carrie Blaser

    Hi my name is Carrie. I am just a sassy girl from the midwest that has a sweet tooth for any type of dessert. I grew up in the kitchen and remember making my sister scrambled eggs at 8 years old. But I really fell in love with baking when I made my first Betty Crocker cake out of the box. I like to think that I have come a long way since then!
