Toffee Rice Krispie Treats


From Sallie's blog to mine, these are addicting treats!! Don't make if you are trying to watch what you eat, you surely will not be able to keep away from them. (cough, cough, Mary Ann) Its a fantastic twist on regular rice krispie treats and scotcharoos.

1/2 c. butter
80 large marshmallows
1/3 cup peanut butter
10 cups Rice Krispie's Cereal
1 1/3 bag toffee pieces
12 oz. chocolate chips, milk or semi-sweet
butter for pan

1. Place butter in a very large mixing bowl.
2. Microwave on high for 1-1 1/2 minutes or until melted.
3. Add marshmallows and stir to coat with butter.
4. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring after each minute.
5. Stir in peanut butter until smooth.
6. Stir in cereal and toffee chips until well coated
7. Transfer mixture to a foil-lined and buttered 9 x 13 pan.
8. With buttered spatula, press mixture evenly into pan.
9. Melt chocolate chips in microwave stirring every 30 seconds. Spread evenly on top of Rice Krispie Treats.
Makes 20 bars

*notes, same as with my scotcharoos, I like them in a greased jelly roll pan. This makes the rice krispie surface to melted chocolate ratio much better!! In fact, increase melted chocolate to 2 bags of chips, more ooey gooey goodness.
