When I was a kid, I loved Rice Krispies Treats. We made them all the time.
One time, my best friend, and I decided to have a Arts and Food stand. Kind of like a kid’s lemonade stand. We sold arts and crafts and Rice Krispies Treats. We were really obsessed! Lol. People actually bought from us. They were so nice.
Well, the obsession is still there. This treat combines the Rice Krispies with….. Brownies! It’s a total game changer.
These are inspired by Stay Sweet NYC‘s brownie Rice Krispies ice cream sandwich. When I saw it, I knew I had to try it. The combination of the two is amazing!
You start with making 1/2 of a brownie recipe. You really would not need the whole recipe unless you’re making a huge pan, then go for it. After it was baked, I refrigerated it overnight so that it would be firm to mix into the treats.
The next day, divide the brownies in half. I only used one half, but you can certainly use more. Chop the brownies into small chucks and put them aside until it is time to add it to the mix.
In a large pot, melt butter, vanilla and marshmallows until they are completely melted. Take the pot off of the stove. Add Rice Krispies cereal, chopped brownies, and additional marshmallows. These will not be completely melted, so that you can still see them in the bars.
Spread into a 9 inch buttered parchment lined pan. Let them cool completely and cut into squares.
These Brownie Rice Krispies Treats are so delicious! This will definitely be a regular treat in my house!
