There is something about homemade Rice Krispies treats. Eating the cereal treats covered in stringy, sticky marshmallow automatically makes you feel like a kid again. While we can’t argue that Rice Krispies treats are delicious on their own, we decided to dress up the classic recipe. Adding a little chocolate here and there couldn’t hurt, right?
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats
Chocolate and peanut butter are a dynamic duo. Why not add this classic combination to Rice Krispies treats? These peanut butter treats are baked on top of a bed of mini chocolate chips then drizzled with even more chocolate. Cut them into squares and find the nearest hiding place. These won’t last long in your house.

Banana Almond Rice Krispies Treats
Adding instant pudding to the cereal and marshmallow mixture is an easy way to add flavor to these classic treats. We added banana instant pudding and pie filling before coating these Banana Almond Rice Krispies treats with a white chocolate and almond icing. Sprinkling slivered almonds on top adds both crunch and a nutty flavor to these delicate treats.

Chocolate Eclair Treats
We wanted to transform one of our favorite pastries into a Rice Krispies treat. Chocolate eclairs are fluffy pastries filled with cream and topped with rich, chocolate icing. To mimic that flavor, we added vanilla instant pudding to the cereal and marshmallows before topping the treats with a chocolate ganache-like icing. If you’re a chocolate lover, these are a must-try. Grab a napkin (or two) and enjoy.
