Butterfinger Rice Krispie Treats
Rice Krispie Treats are a hit in my household always; kids love recipe like this no matter what! This version of the yummy treat takes it to the next level. They have butterfinger chunks in every bite! If you like butterfingers – this is a must try recipe for you!
This recipe not only tastes good, but it is super simple to make and it has simple ingredients too. Cereal bars are the best dessert for when you’re on a time crunch! Plus – the butterfingers add a great texture.
Ingredients Needed
- Butterfingers: Get full size candy bars or mini candy bars to chop, or use butterfinger pieces, which I love for making Butterfinger Pie.
- Marshmallows: I used one bag mini marshmallows but you can also use large ones. Mini marshmallows just melt easier.
- Rice Krispie Treats: Any size box is up to you, but buy the regular flavor.
- Butter: I always use and prefer unsalted butter.
How to make Butterfinger Krispie Treats
- Place butter and marshmallows in a large microwave safe bowl. Heat, stirring often, until butter melts into the marshmallows. You can also do this in a large pot over medium low heat.
- Stir cereal into marshmallow mixture, then stir in butterfinger chunks.
- Press into a 9×13-inch pan and allow to cool.
Expert Tips
- Have all your ingredients measured and ready to go before you start. It’s a fast process and can get quite hectic.
- I recommend using a really large bowl because if not, the cereal might end up on the floor.
- You could add 1/4 cup of peanut butter to the marshmallow mixture while you’re heating it if you want these extra peanut buttery. Or add 1 cup of peanut butter chips!
- Spray your clean hands with non-stick cooking spray before pressing them down in the pan. This will save you even more time and less mess!
Storage
- Store them in a covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze these in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Place pieces of wax paper or parchment between the bars so they don’t stick together.
Butterfinger Krispie Treats Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (57g) butter , salted or unsalted
- 1 (10 ounce) bag mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups rice krispie cereal
- 2 cups chopped Butterfinger candy bars
Instructions
- Line a 9×13″ pan with foil and spray well with cooking spray. The foil is optional, but it makes it easy to remove the bars to slice.
- Place butter and marshmallows in a large microwave safe bowl. Heat on 50% power in 1 minute increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth (for about 2-3 minutes in an 1100W microwave). While the mixture is heating, measure the cereal into another bowl.
- Working quickly once the marshmallows are melted stir the vanilla into the marshmallow mixture. Add the cereal and Butterfinger bars and stir until all are combined with the melted marshmallow. Pour into prepared pan. Spray your hands with cooking spray and carefully press to compact. (The mixture is hot; be careful not to burn yourself!) Cool before cutting into squares.
