Nutella Rice Krispie Treats

Hang on to your spoons, folks! We’re diving into the crazy addictive world of Nutella Rice Krispie Treats. Imagine the classic snap-crackle-pop magic cranking up with a gooey, chocolaty hug from everyone’s favorite hazelnut spread. It’s not just any dessert; it’s like a party for your taste buds, and trust me, you’re gonna want an invite.
My family is bonkers for these treats! They’ve somehow snuck into our weekend traditions, thanks to my husband’s insatiable sweet tooth. Sunday afternoons, you’ll find us, kids and all, crowded around the kitchen counter with sticky fingers and grins wider than a watermelon slice. I once found my youngest sneaking one for breakfast—can’t blame him, though!

Why You’ll Love This Nutella Rice Krispie Treats
1. They’re dangerously easy: You don’t need a chef’s hat, just a spoon and determination.
2. Nutella + marshmallows = unending joy. Enough said.
3. Perfect for sharing, or you know, eating straight from the pan “just to even it out.”
How to Make It
Alright, first things first. Melt a heap of butter in a big ol’ pot—don’t skimp. Once it’s all melty, dump in those marshmallows. Stir like you’ve never stirred before until they’re one gooey mess. Here comes the fun part: grab that Nutella jar, and just go for it. I never measure, just take a big scoop…or five. Let everything meld into a chocolaty dream.
When you’re sure there’s no marshmallow left un-Nutella’d, take it off the heat. Pop in those crispy rice cereal bits, and stir until your arms can’t stir no more. Spread it out in a pan and press it down. I usually use my hands because, hey, why not embrace the sticky chaos? Let them sit if you’ve got the patience. If not, dig in warm—I won’t judge.
Ingredient Notes
– **Rice Krispie Cereal**: The snap, crackle, pop stars that make everything better. Don’t go generic here—trust me.
– **Nutella**: Didn’t have Nutella once and tried peanut butter…not quite the same, folks—stick to the hazelnut goodness.
– **Marshmallows**: Used mini ones once because they were all I had. Worked out! Use what you got.
Recipe Steps:
1. Melt butter in a large pot.
2. Stir in marshmallows until melted and combined.
3. Add a generous amount of Nutella and stir until smooth.
4. Remove from heat, add Rice Krispies, and mix until evenly coated.
5. Spread mixture into a pan, press it down, and let cool (or don’t, you do you).
What to Serve It With
Tips & Mistakes
– Don’t melt your marshmallows too fast or you’ll end up with a sticky, burnt situation. Been there, tasted that.
– Pro tip: butter your spatula (or hands) if you’re gonna press the mix down directly. Less mess. Some mess, but less mess.
Storage Tips
Honestly, leftovers are a rare thing ‘round here, but should you find yourself with extras, store them in an airtight container. They’ll be good for a few days if you keep them cool. Slightly stale? Microwave for a few secs and BAM—almost like new.
Variations and Substitutions
Try swapping the Nutella for cookie butter—it changes the game completely! Ran out of marshmallows once and swapped in some honey. Not the same, but a unique experiment for sure. Keep it quirky!
