Author Notes
Rice Krispies Treats (or RCTs as they're known in our house) are an all-time favorite of my husband's. The classic is great, but a few simple add-ins take these from simple to fabulous. Mini chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies add texture and great flavor to a traditional snack food. —TheThinChef
Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons
butter
-
1
10-ounce bag marshmallows
-
6 cups
crispy rice cereal
-
3/4 cup
miniature chocolate chips - OR -
-
1/2 cup
regular chocolate chips
-
1/3 to 1/2 cups
crushed hard peppermint candies
Directions
-
Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and cook, stirring, until completely melted.
-
Take pan off heat. Stir in rice cereal. Gently fold in chocolate chips and peppermint candies. It's OK if the chips melt...it's part of what makes it good.
-
Spread mixture in a 9x13-inch baking pan, or any high-sided baking pan. The size of the pan dictates how thick your treats will be.
-
Set aside to cool and harden, about 30 minutes or so. Cover tightly, and keep at room temperature for up to 3 days...if they last that long!
