Rice Krispies Kit Kat Bars

October 14, 2013 By Betsy Cohen

Rice Krispies Kit Kat Bars combine the best childhood ingredients one can think of eating. An easy recipe that will please the kids and grownups!

Rice Krispies Kit Kat Bars

(pin this video for later)

“A kid in the candy store” has always been an expression to which I could easily relate. I mean, really, one gets wide eyed and is not sure where to begin, which is precisely how I felt when I went into a bulk candy store the other day. The aisles were filled with all sorts of candies, bagged in large quantities, waiting to be bought.

When I saw a very large bag of miniature Kit Kat bars on sale for $6.50, I had to buy it. I was not sure what I would do with all the candy bars, but believed that if I bought it, the idea would come.

And so it did. I thought that Samuel and I were supposed to go to a friend’s home for dinner this past Friday, but found out at the last minute that we were eating instead at their clubhouse. One of the desserts I had intended to make was not really appropriate to carry into the Grill Room; so I had to make a last minute switcharoo.

I had bought the fixings for Rice Krispies Treats with the intention of throwing in the kitchen sink, a/k/a the leftover candies in my pantry. Then I realized that my gigantic bag of Kit Kat bars would be even better.

The chocolate taste from the candy bars adds a wonderful element to the treats and the extra crunch is fantastic.

Samuel had a great time helping me, as you will see in the video. I think we both consumed a couple of Rice Krispies Kit Kat Bars before the shooting was over and I loved watching him ‘glue’ the Kit Kat bar on to the top of each treat, using melted chocolate.

Samuel is already coming up with new dessert ideas that will be sure to cast him the starring role. Stay tuned…deliciousness is on the way!

AN ADDITIONAL NOTE….

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over.
