Rice Krispie Treats

[DCJenn]

So, I have to tell you that my mother is brilliant.

She always made 'alternative' rice krispies treats- and added creamy peanut butter to the mix. and they were darned tasty.

But, she had this jar of nutella that she and my dad both hated- and voila- the world's greatest rice krispie treat- EVER.

I don't know when she added it or if she replaced the butter or not (probably not because she's a size 2 and forgets that normal people have to watch fat and calories) but as soon as she gets home from her packing my grandmother off to the home, I'll ask

I highly recommend the Nutella addition.

Mentally all I can say is UCK. Not a nutella fan ... but if your parents aren't either, maybe it works. I found this one online and we liked it here. It's rice krispie treats w/an Indian flair.

OMG. I never thought of putting Nutella in Rice Krispies treats. That sounds so good. You must report back.

Ummm, that sounds yummy! I'm tryin to gear myself up to make some treats with some cereal that my kids have turned their noses up at. It's peanut butter toast crunch (alternate version of cinnamon toast crunch). Too bad I don't have any nutella in stock, that would be extra delicious.

My sister has a yummy alternative too. Make a batch of rice krispy treats, then melt a bunch of caramel with sweetened condensed milk and pour on top. Then make another batch of rice krispy treats and put that on top of the caramel mixture. Soooo yummy, but apain in the a** to make because you basically have to make the treats twice.
