Homemade Rice Krispies Treats are one of my favorite quick and easy desserts to make at home. But, if you know me, then you know I like to take my favorite classic desserts to the next level and that’s exactly what we’re doing with these. The Biscoff cookie pieces and cookie butter add the perfect amount of flavor that compliments the Rice Krispies so well. Plus, I’ve added in extra marshmallows so that they’re super gooey and easy to pull apart. 

Read on to get the full recipe for these Cookie Butter Rice Krispies Treats.

How to make

1. Grease an 8 inch square pan with cooking spray.

3. Over medium heat, melt butter. Then, add remaining marshmallows and cookie butter spread. Stir until just melted.
4. Immediately combine the marshmallow mixture with the Rice Krispies, marshmallows, and Biscoff cookies.

Tips for success

• One of the keys to making homemade Rice Krispies Treats that are gooey and easy to pull apart is making sure you do not over-stir your marshmallow mixture. Pay close attention while melting your butter, marshmallows, and cookie butter – as soon as everything is melted and combined, stop stirring and remove from heat. If you over-stir, this mixture won’t have enough elasticity to create a gooey, easy to pull apart treat.
• Before combining the butter/marshmallow/cookie butter mixture with the dry ingredients, make sure you spray your spatula with cooking spray. This will make the entire process much easier. If needed, spray the spatula again throughout this step so that nothing sticks to it. 
• Once you have everything combined and in the prepared pan, before you press it down, wet your hands so that they’re slightly damp. Using damp hands, lightly press the treats into the pan – do not smush them down or press into the pan too much.

How to store

Store the Cookie Butter Rice Krispies Treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 to 5 days. For optimal freshness, consume within 1 to 2 days after making.

Take your homemade Rice Krispies Treats to the next level and try these! They’re super gooey, packed with cookie butter pieces, and have so much flavor. You do not want to sleep on these!
