Fusing two delicious dessert treats together sure worked well for these Snickers Rice Krispies Treats. Ken came up with this idea and made them for one of our church refreshment days. They were a hit with the parishioners; none were brought home!

This is an easy treat to make, too! I think almost anything that is made in a 9×13″ pan is easy, right? The size is perfect for a crowd, too. You can never go wrong with an ooey gooey caramel, chocolate and peanuts, never mind the beloved rice krispie square.

Do you need to feed a crowd for a brunch, potluck, or casual dinner, or just treat the kids to an after-school snack? These will be a scrumptious way to win over the crowd or your kids!

You are writing down the ingredients, aren’t you? You have to run to the store to get them to make them right away! I know you are! This is a winner of a treat, and kids, young and old, would love these.

Putting two classics together like this is an awesome idea. You get everything that you love with the Snickers bar, and all the crunchy, gooeyness of the rice krispie treat! These are all common ingredients, nothing flashy here, but good ‘ol comfort food at its best. This dessert is completely portable in the pan or slice up nicely to place in a sealed container, too!
