BUTTERFINGER RICE KRISPIES TREATS

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (10 oz) package miniature marshmallows (or 7 oz marshmallow creme)
  • 1–2 cups Butterfinger baking bits or crushed Butterfinger candy bars

DIRECTIONS

  1. Lightly coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and marshmallows. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes. Stir, then continue microwaving for 1 additional minute, or until the marshmallows are completely melted. Stir until smooth.
  3. Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and Butterfinger baking bits, stirring until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using a buttered spatula or a piece of wax paper or parchment paper, gently press the mixture into an even layer. Avoid pressing too firmly, which can make the treats dense.
  5. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

    6. NOTES

    • Butterfinger baking bits work great, but crushed Butterfinger candy bars are just as delicious.
    • Add more or less Butterfinger depending on how much peanut butter crunch you want.
    • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
    • These treats are best enjoyed the day they are made.
