Taking Your After School Conversation and Your Rice Krispies Treats to a Whole ‘Nother Level (Giveaway) – Closed

circle_61764_968b518acc93ffac5b300a0eaf6b75cb_m

Many of us have been in this familiar situation, our kids come home, we ask about their day and all we hear is silence or maybe if we are lucky we get a “fine” or a “good”. Don’t our children realize how much we want to know about what they did all day? I know I wonder what fun things they learned and what they ate… I am sure you can relate.

Recently, Rice Krispies dared some mom bloggers including me, to think up some Rice Krispies recipes that may help start conversation after school, Rice Krispies thought that maybe with the help of a yummy snack we could get out kids chatting about their day.

Here is the recipe I came up with – (keep in mind that I burn everything):

A Whole ‘Nother Level of Rice Krispies Treat

  • 3 tablespoons   butter or margarine

  • 6 oz of Walnuts
  • half a bag of dark chocolate chips (5-6 oz)

    1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
    2. Add KELLOGG’S RICE KRISPIES cereal and walnuts. Stir until well coated. (dried fruit can be added here as well – optional)
    3. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Drizzle melted dark chocolate chips on to top and let cool some more. Cut into 2-inch squares. Best if served the same day.

    I LOVE making homemade rice krispy treats and when I was raising my brothers, all of their friends would come over and attack them lol

    Your recipe looks SO good!!! It turned out great…I have never really experimented too much with trying to take them to the next level, but will have to now! lol

    I’d probably drizzle some caramel on top..I love caramel and it would probably go well together!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    I think I would like to try Rice Krispies treats with some peanut butter on them. That sounds so yummy!

    we like to mix a little instant coffee powder into ours for a grownup version that’s yummy at breakfast! For the kids though, we like to spread peanut butter and sprinkles on top!

    We take Rice Krispies Treats to a whole nother level at Christmas by adding in diced marachino cherries, miniature colored marshmellows, and sometimes candied broken pieces of pistasios to the top chocolate layer.

    Yum, Yum, Yum and Ho, Ho, Ho, merry christmas!
