Does anyone know of of an interesting twist of rice-krispie bars?

Question

My favorite sweet is rice-krispie bars. I make them at least once a week, and am getting bored with the same-old, plain marshmallow and rice-krispie bars.... Does anyone know a spin-off of rice-krispie bars? Like, an interesting way to make them, or ingredient to add to them? HELP! :D

Answer 1

Here's a recipe for Peanut Butter Crispy Rice Treats. In the words of Rachel Ray, these are yumo!

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 ounces jumbo marshmallows
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
6 cups crispy rice cereal
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

1. Melt the butter over low heat in a large pan. Stir in the marshmallows and cook until fully melted and no marshmallow white remains. Stir in peanut butter until combined. Stir in the cereal until distributed evenly through the marshmallow mixture. Pour out onto a lightly greased rectangular baking dish. Smooth out the top of the treats by moistening your hands with a little water and using the palms of your hand to press down gently. Don't press down too hard or else your treats will be to dense. Set aside to cool.

2. Once the treats have cooled, melt the chocolate over lowhesat. Cut the treats into even squares and quickly just shallowly dip the top side of the treats into the chocolate. Turn chocolate side up and set in a baking dish or on a rack until set.

Answer 2

I have 3:
1) Put some Kix in with the Krispies
2) Put a spoonful of peanut butter in the regular recipe
3) Use half Cocoa Krispies and half Rice Krispies. My husband absolutely loves this version.

Here's a quick and delicious recipe that makes a smaller amount, but can easily be doubled!

No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cereal Bars

2/3 cup nonfat dry milk
2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp peanut butter
About 2 tbsp raisins
1-1/2 to 2 cups rice crispie-type cereal

Stir dry milk, cocoa powder, and sugar together in a medium bowl. Add water. Mix in peanut butter. Stir in raisins and cereal just until coated. Press mixture into bottom of 6x6" square Rubbermaid container or 4x8 loaf pan. Chill 30 minutes or longer. To serve, cut into bars. Eat with a fork or spoon. Best when eaten the same day.

Answer 4

Use any of the extras from the advice above.

Then, pour your mixture into a jellyroll pan, which is a larger than a 9x13 but more shallow.

I usually sprinkle three kinds of chocolate chips over the mixture at this point. Let it sit for a couple of minutes and the chips will be melted enough to spread.

Next, roll up the mixture and you will see the chocolate spiral.

Put into the refrigerator, wrapped in waxed paper, until firm. When you are ready to serve it, slice it into 1/2 inch or less circles.

It looks great, and tastes even better! Try using food coloring, sugars, or sprinkles for special colors at holidays.

Answer 5

Use cocoa crispies instead of the regular rice. Add some Kraft caramels to the marshmaoolow mix and maybe even some chocolate chips and some of your favorite nuts.

Answer 6

When your making them heat up light corn syrup and melted peanut butter and mix it into the rice krispees instead of marshmallows and then add a layer of chocolate in the middle of the bars

Answer 7

i'm no longer partial to Rice Krispy Treats so i've got no longer actually tried those transformations, yet i think of that they had paintings out nicely. on your Rice krispy mixture upload a cup (or greater to style) Chocolate chips, or raisins, dried cherries, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, chopped walnuts, chopped cashews or different nuts, or different dried end result or nut. mixture nicely and unfold them to set and cut back as usual. i might cut back additions to easily 2 or 3 on the main, i.e. the chocolate chips and one dried fruit and one chopped nut. sturdy success. rfile Hudson

Answer 8

Mix half rice crispies with half Special K cereal with strawberries or the new kind with the dark chocolate chunks, great flavor, a bit healthier for you and delicious.

Answer 9

It's not a ricipe for rice crispies but they are even better then rice crispies. You melt those a buch of those little square caramels in a double boiler untill just melted and not too hot, dipp full sized marshmellos in them then you roll them in rise crispies. They are quite a treat!
