So, I go into work one morning and there’s a box of Rice Krispies sitting on my desk. Uh…what? Breakfast? Nope, my manager Amy gifted me the box so that I could bake with it. It was a full box with a fast-approaching “sell by” date and there was no way she and her daughter would finish the box, so naturally it needed to be used in another form. There is only one answer to this dilemma. Rice crispy treats, duh!
I’ve been wanting to make them forever. Rice Krispies Treats are ALL over the blogosphere. Every blogger I follow has made them at least once. And these are not your average Rice Krispies Treats —they’re filled with peanut butter cups, Oreos, Snickers, M&M’s, cookie butter, etc. I went the chocolate route and used Nutella and chocolate chips in one batch and Hershey’s dark cocoa powder in another, and they were a hit. High fives all around!
These would be a great (and really easy) treat to whip up for your loved ones for Valentine’s Day! It’s only a day away so if you’re still stuck on what to do for your significant other, make a batch of these Rice Krispies Treats. Nothing says love like home-made goodies, especially when they’re chocolate!
