Butterfinger Rice Krispie Treats
Rice Krispie Treats are a hit in my household always; kids love recipe like this no matter what! This version of the yummy treat takes it to the next level. They have butterfinger chunks in every bite! If you like butterfingers – this is a must try recipe for you!
This recipe not only tastes good, but it is super simple to make and it has simple ingredients too. Cereal bars are the best dessert for when you’re on a time crunch! Plus – the butterfingers add a great texture.
Ingredients Needed
- Butterfingers: Get full size candy bars or mini candy bars to chop, or use butterfinger pieces, which I love for making Butterfinger Pie.
- Marshmallows: I used one bag mini marshmallows but you can also use large ones. Mini marshmallows just melt easier.
- Rice Krispie Treats: Any size box is up to you, but buy the regular flavor.
- Butter: I always use and prefer unsalted butter.
How to make Butterfinger Krispie Treats
- Place butter and marshmallows in a large microwave safe bowl. Heat, stirring often, until butter melts into the marshmallows. You can also do this in a large pot over medium low heat.
- Stir cereal into marshmallow mixture, then stir in butterfinger chunks.
- Press into a 9×13-inch pan and allow to cool.
Expert Tips
- Have all your ingredients measured and ready to go before you start. It’s a fast process and can get quite hectic.
- I recommend using a really large bowl because if not, the cereal might end up on the floor.
- You could add 1/4 cup of peanut butter to the marshmallow mixture while you’re heating it if you want these extra peanut buttery. Or add 1 cup of peanut butter chips!
- Spray your clean hands with non-stick cooking spray before pressing them down in the pan. This will save you even more time and less mess!
Storage
- Store them in a covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze these in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Place pieces of wax paper or parchment between the bars so they don’t stick together.

these look so amazing and easy! I have burned my hands plenty when making Krispy treats!
You had me at Butterfinger. These look awesome! I’ve been on a rice krispie treat kick lately with my kiddos out of school so I definitely need to try these.
ps: If you find anyone who likes to pick up after barbies and legos let me know, I’ll hire them too. 😉
From my experience, it seems the only people who have perfect homes have too much time on their hands, and don’t want to have anyone over to visit (visitors might mess up their house or bring in germs or whatever). I love hostesses who are relaxed and just want to enjoy the company of their friends and family and feed them well (like you!). These treats look tasty and easy!
OOOOOO – you are such a woman after my heart. I have been making lots of rice krispy treats…adding them to my table of quick breads I’ve been setting up at the farmer’s market. They always go quickly too. I have some mini Reese’s on hand and will add those this week, but since Butterfingers are my fav candy bar, I will be trying them next. Thanks for the great tips. Sounds like you’re gonna be a very busy gal in the weeks ahead.
Yum…any of these left??? lol I can help Jordan sort thru some of her toys next weekend if you want. You can pay me in goodies!!! 🙂
xoxo
