RUFFLES RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Does anyone else have a hard time waiting for the Treats to set? Just me? Man, I think they’re almost as good warm and gooey as they are when they cool and set! Sure, they don’t cut cleanly but that’s what big spoons are for! 😉

These aren’t your everyday classic Rice Crispy Treats. No, they have a little something special in them.

I saw a recipe recently that used potato chips instead of cereal and was inspired. However, my recipe uses both puffed rice cereal and wavy potato chips. I felt like this would be better. 

However, potato chips aren’t the only reason this dessert recipe is the best. In addition, I added more butter and marshmallows for extra goo!! 

HOW TO MAKE 

1. First, line a 13×9-inch baking pan with foil, waxed paper, or parchment paper. Extend the foil or paper over the edges of the pan. Then spray the foil or paper with nonstick cooking spray. 
2. Next, in a large pot melt the butter and marshmallows over medium-low heat. You’ll need to stir it constantly until melted. (I like to leave a few marshmallows unmelted, but this is a personal preference.)
3. Stir in the vanilla.
4. I break up the potato chips but don’t crush them completely.
5. Stir in the Rice Krispies and broken potato chips until they are evenly coated.
6. Finally, pour the mixture into your prepared pan. Use a large square of wax paper or parchment paper over the top to press firmly into the pan.
7. Now, possibly the hardest part of the recipe, let the treats cool before cutting and serving. 😳
