Snickers Rice Krispie Treats

Now that September is officially here, our schedules tend to pick up. Fall is my favorite time of year but it can also be quite hectic. With quick snacks like these Snickers Rice Krispie Treats, you might find a few extra minutes to yourself.

Snickers Rice Krispie Treats… These are insanely easy and delicious!

It’s not uncommon in our household to make a half batch of Rice Krispie Treats a couple times a week. It’s the one thing I don’t mind making because it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make. Just yesterday my boyfriend asked for a batch. I turned to him and said, seriously? With all the desserts in this house (a total of six), and he wants plain Rice Krispie Treats. Yep, that’s pretty typical.

Snickers Rice Krispie Treats… These are insanely easy and delicious!

I make these Snickers Rice Krispie Treats when I am looking for something a little extra special. They are full of chocolate, a bit of caramel and a hint of peanut butter. I am thinking I need to make a peanut butter version of my Rice Krispie Treat S’mores! What do you think?

    When you said boyfriend, I was like WAIT, Nikki is married with 3 kids! And then...I realized...it wasn't Nikki writing this :)

    I love RKTreats sooo much too!

    Plain Rice Krispy treats are a favorite of my husband; he doesn't want any extra add-ins or toppings, so thanks for making this a half recipe! I think a PB version of your s'mores RK treats would be perfect, Julianne:)
