So we’ve all made rice krispie treats at least once in our lives, right? Melt some butter and marshmallows into a big, sticky blob and add lots of that delicious Snap, Crackle, Pop cereal until the rice krispie mixture is formed… it’s a pretty standard recipe, and honestly I could probably eat an entire pan of these gooey marshmallow treats if my kids didn’t steal them first!
There’s just something so nostalgic and comforting about this recipe. As I make them with my kids, I can remember standing on a chair in my Mom’s kitchen when I was a little girl, stirring that big bowl of marshmallow-covered cereal. For as long as I can remember, it always has been and always will be a classic!
But here’s the way my brain works: if rice krispies are good and turtle candies are downright delicious, then a combination of the two of them must be AMAZING! And guess what… they are!
These really could not be simpler to make. It’s a great last minute recipe for when you forget you were supposed to bring something to a party… not that you or I would ever forget that though, right? 😉
Just make your standard rice krispie mixture and press it into a 13″ x 9″ baking dish. Then melt a bag of caramels with a little bit of milk and pour that over the rice krispies. Sprinkle some chopped pecans on top and finish off with a chocolate drizzle. That’s it!
When I’m in a hurry, I’ll pop the rice krispies into the fridge or freezer to cool quickly so I can cut them without gooey caramel getting everywhere. You can cut them into whatever shape your heart desires, but I like to do long strips just for something different. These ARE unique, grown-up rice krispies after all. 🙂 I hope you enjoy them!
