3 Ways to Take Your Rice Krispie Treats to the Next Level

Tessa Huff
Apr 14, 2014

Say NO to the days of sad sack lunches with stale, pre-packaged rice cereal treats. These three no-bake homemade versions are the tastiest ways to re-think those childhood snacks. With super easy steps and a variety of mix-ins and toppings (think: Oreos, sprinkles, caramel sauce… are you drooling yet?), you’ll be whipping up these bars in no time! Seriously though, they’re are SO simple to make and are just as crispy as you remember.

Ingredients:
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

– 3 full cups marshmallows

– 6 cups rice cereal

– 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Add Ins:
Birthday Cake

– sprinkles or confetti

– 1 cup white chocolate, chopped

Cookies ‘N Cream

– 1/2 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies

– about 10-15 chocolate sandwich cookies, chopped in half

Candy Bar

– 1/2 cup peanuts, chopped

– 1/3 cup chocolate chips

– caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions:

1. Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

2. Melt butter over medium-low heat in a medium-large pot.

3. Add in the marshmallows and remove from heat. Stir to combine with a rubber spatula.

4. Stir in the vanilla and rice cereal treats.

5. Place rice cereal mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread with the rubber spatula.

6. Use a piece of parchment or wax paper to press the mixture into the pan.

7. Let completely cool and set before slicing.

Making the rice cereal treat base is a lot like riding a bike, you never forget how to do it! Stir marshmallows into melted butter. Add in the vanilla paste and rice puff cereal, then press the mixture down into a pan and let completely cool. That’s it! On they’re own, they’re pretty delicious. But we love taking ordinary sweets to the extreme, so that’s JUST what we’re gonna do.

You can make these cookies ‘n cream “sandwich” treats quicker than you can say OreOMG! Stir the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies in with the rice cereal and marshmallow base, and spread only half of the mixture into the baking pan. Layer the larger cookie pieces on top of the first half of the cereal mixture, then add on second half. Press into the pan with a piece of parchment or wax paper so that they’re smushed together real good.

Cookies ‘N Cream

When you slice the batch, they look like reverse ice cream sandwiches! But this sweet desert won’t melt in your hand ;)

If you’re obsessed with the taste combo of vanilla cake, buttercream frosting, and sugary sprinkles, then get ready for this rice cereal treat remix. Using the same base as before, dip your sliced snacks into a pot of melted white chocolate (you can melt it easily over a double boiler), then drizzle it over the rest of the treats. Scatter with sprinkles and let dry before you devour.

Birthday Cake

Luckily, they harden up in no time!

Can anything beat our epic four-layer candy bar cake? These rice cereal bars sure try with add-ins that include chopped nuts and chocolate chips. Just don’t over mix them in the marshmallow base — the chocolate will start to melt and turn the whole mixture chocolatey, and that’s not what we’re goin’ for here. Spread the mixture into a baking pan and let set before slicing, then drizzle caramel sauce over each bar. Oh come on, you can be a bit more generous than that ;)

Candy Bar

You made all three like us, right? These desserts would make amazing party favors or even extra-special lunchbox treats the week of your little one’s birthday. But since they’re so easy to make, do you REALLY need there to be an occasion to whip ’em up?

We say no!

Your Weekly Horoscope: 5 Zodiac Signs Will Have An Amazing Week

Aquarius season is officially here, in all its air sign glory — and it's about to shake up your weekly horoscope! From January 19-26, you can expect a lot going on in the world around you (hello, new president?!), but there's also a lot going on in your personal life. Whether you're tapping into your inner courage, or you're just trying to take a breather this week, the stars have plenty to say about it. So, buckle up because his is what your zodiac sign can expect in your weekly horoscope!

Here's what's in store for your weekly horoscope for January 19-26, 2025!

What's happening astrologically during January 19-26, 2025?

Chevanon Photography

Aquarius season officially begins on January 19 as the Sun moves into this electric air sign, prompting us to view life from a fresh and unique perspective. Things will start moving faster; our mental abilities will sharpen, and we’ll strive to accomplish more. However, with Mars still retrograde, it’s wise to pause before impulsively taking action, even if we’re tempted to dive in. Once your goals are clear, don’t hold back.

The Aquarius archetype is humanitarian and community-focused. In a world facing many challenges and tragedies, this visionary energy can inspire us to challenge the status quo and solve problems innovatively. On a personal level, this month-long period encourages us to embrace our authenticity and live by our ideals and goals, no matter how unconventional they may seem to others.

cottonbro studio

As noted last week, the Sun aligns with Pluto at the same degree on January 21 and 22, marking an energy we’ve felt for weeks. Expect world events to remain volatile, intense, and even destructive. The Sun-Pluto interplay will persist as Pluto journeys through Aquarius over the next 20 years, sometimes with dramatic effects. Rather than getting caught up in external drama, adapt to this energy, channel its power for personal growth, and let the world’s events unfold as they will. From the ashes of destruction, a new world will emerge — one we can’t yet imagine.

Aliaksei Semirski

Other planetary movements encourage new beginnings and help overcome inertia. Tap into the energy for fun, excitement, and bold changes. Mars forms a sextile with Uranus, inspiring courageous actions that lead to freedom. If you feel stuck or bored with daily life, use this momentum to make bold moves. Stay alert, flexible, and ready for quick changes.

Mercury, the planet of intellect and communication, is in a harmonious phase. Use this time to express yourself clearly and initiate meaningful conversations, even challenging ones. Experiment with new ways to convey your feelings. This is an excellent week to speak your truth and strive for your goals.

Phoebe Dynevor Just Spilled On Potential 'Bridgerton' Season 4 Return As Daphne

Not only are we ready to return to the Ton as viewers, but our favorite actors are too! Bridgerton season 4 will be led by Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton and Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek, but we'll also see fan favorites like Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), Colin (Luke Newton), and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan). However, there's one Bridgerton who just revealed they haven't even been contacted about joining the new season: Phoebe Dynevor, who starred as Diamond of the Season Daphne Bridgerton in the first eight episodes of the show!

Here's what Phoebe Dynevor had to say about Bridgerton season 4, and her potential return as Daphne Bridgerton.

Phoebe Dynevor is "available" for 'Bridgerton' season 4...even if she hasn't been asked back.

Liam Daniel/Netflix

While promoting her new movie Inheritance, Phoebe Dynevor revealed that she hasn't been contacted about returning as the eldest Bridgerton daughter.

"I mean, they've not called me yet," she told The Direct. "And I think they're shooting Season 4 right now. So, I'm still waiting for that call."

"Life post-Bridgerton has been interesting," the actress added in an interview with Screen Rant. "But do I plan to revisit Daphne? Yeah, if they want me back. I haven't got the call yet, but I'm available."

Ugh what do you MEAN?! Bridgerton literally wouldn't be the same without Daphne and the Duke's love story at the helm, and considering the actress wasn't in Bridgerton season 3, it's been far too long since I've seen her on my screen. I want to see her bond with Penelope, and see Anthony interact with her son. I am literally begging Netflix to bring her back.

And Jonathan Bailey can't wait to return.

Speaking of Anthony, we do know that Jonathan Bailey will be back in his role as eldest son after he told Good Morning Americain August that "I have a couple of weeks etched out in my schedule for returning" and that he can't wait to start "reading the scripts."

Fans will remember that by the end of Bridgerton season 3, Anthony and Kate's story was leading them to India for their child's birth. Anthony wants their baby to know they're as much a Sharma as they are a Bridgerton, which showrunner Jess Brownell says highlights "the two of them deciding what their future looks like together and how much they want to give into the duty or not."

Even if this couple ends up being overseas during the majority of season 4, actress Simone Ashley is hoping we get to see them again very soon...maybe in their own spinoff?! "I would love it," she tells Premiere magazine. "This world is so big and these characters are so deep that there is plenty to explore about them."

And she also hinted that there's plenty more to explore about fans' favorite couple. "I don't want to give too much away, but I think there could be several seasons to come about Kate and Anthony," she adds. I'll be seated for every single season!
