Who doesn’t love  rice krispie treat? Treat is not a misnomer in these bad boys. Good luck getting through the night without eating the whole bunch of them – I cannot say that I did.

Note: You MUST use real butter in these – no margarine or vegetable fake butter silliness. There is too much oil in those products and the treats will be affected. Another important note – wet your hands to handle the mixture and it will stick much less. Lastly, use a slightly wet silicon or soft rubber spoon to mix and it will stick less.

Nutella-laced Rice Krispie Treats

Five cups Kellogg’s Rice Krispie Treats
One 10 oz package of Jet-Puffed Marshmallows (name brand not generic)
Four tablespoons butter (one-fourth cup)
Pinch Salt
Three to Four Heaping Tablespoons Nutella
One and one half teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Melt butter on low heat in a large saucepan or saute pan. Add marshmallows and melt through, stirring frequently. Add salt, vanilla extract, and Nutella and mix well. Combine in a greased dish with rice krispies and stir well. Press down with your fingers to  make an even surface. Allow to set and enjoy….preferably with your hands. Also, you may not want to be on a road trip for the entire batch because they are very likely vanish before you reach your destination. Feel free to cut these into squares, I didn’t (I did offer but everyone was fine with a hands or spoon option)!
