Day 15 of CHALLENGE Campfire (Smore’s) Rice Krispie Treats

I have gotten so many views for my Reese’s Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats Dupe so I thought I would post my own Recipe. It is a Campfire (Smore’s) version of Rice Krispie Treats and boy are they gooood! Here’s what ingredients and supplies I used~

1. Rice Krispies 5 cups (I got the big Family size so I only used half of the box)
2. Jet-Puffed Marshmallows /1 bag
3. Nestle’ Toll House Chocolate Chunks /1 small bag (I wanted the semi-melted texture)
4. Honey Grahams (I got Walmarts brand, this is your choice) I used enough for 1 1/4 cups crushed grahams
5. 3 Tblsp. Butter or Margarine. I used Blue Bonnet
6. One Gallon sized baggie
7. A measuring cup and a spoon

Open a package of graham crackers and break them in half. Add them to a gallon sized baggie. Now seal the bag and use the back of a spoon to break grahams into 1/4-1/2 inch pieces, there will be crumbs at the bottom of the bag.

Next melt 3 Tblsp. Margarine in pan over medium-low heat. 

Next Add your Marshmallows and melt away. Mix well sides and bottom so burning does not occur. This is probably my most favorite part, love fluff!!


Now add your Rice Krispies 5 cups  Keep on low heat, Mix well.










Next you add your graham cracker pieces, try to pick the pieces out of the bag and leave the crumbs in the bag.


Turn off the heat, now you can add your Chocolate Chunks, mix just until incorporated. My second most favorite part, CHOCOLATE, yummy!!


Next, quickly add your Smore’s Rice Krispie Treats mixture to a baking dish/ pan and smooth till even.

Okay, so right about now I am not willing to give these bad boys away, but I guess I have to share. Reminds me of the Bugs Bunny cartoon, down down down it’s mine mine mine. Funny. Here is the end result~ In the words of Rachel Ray ~Delish
 

The family’s tasting results are in, a resounding Yummmm, please make more, awesome, mmm, seconds please. You have got to make these Campfire Rice Krispie Treats, a different take on the same ole smore’s, so good!!!

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Rice Krispie Treats Dupe

Here's a recipe I made my own, I got it from www.picky-palate.com

Here are the ingredients everything except butter is shown.

Follow the directions for making Rice Krispy treats, should be on the back of the Rice Krispies box or at www.Kelloggs.com click on recipes and type in Rice Krispies treats.

In medium saucepan scoop one can peanut butter, melt on low to medium heat, keep low and consistent as not to burn the peanut butter.

In second pan add marshmallows and butter, make sure you stir this constantly til melted, as not to burn the marshmallows.

 

make sure everything is melted all at the same time, while they are melting chop up one, 8 cup package of reese's peanut butter cups into meltable pieces and add to peanut butter.

The marshmallowy goodness trapping the Rice Krispies, dare I share these!

Spreading on the Peanut Butter goodness.

Before I stuck it in the fridge I added another 8 package of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups cut up.

After they solidified in the fridge for about an hour. I cut a couple of pieces for the fam.

The reviews are in!!

Husband: Tasty and good, but overall should be thinner with more marshmallow in the Krispies.

Daughter (7 yrs. old): Doesn't like peanut butter that much so I had to cut the top off, overall she says they were good.

Teen son: Don't change a thing, like them just the way they are.

Son (10 yrs. old): Loves them, make them again that way.

Youngest son (5 yrs. old): Ate it all and requested more, likes them alot.

Me: Hard from the fridge, if they were warm they would be easier to eat, too much Peanut Butter for my taste, but they did taste yummy, need to be half their size for biting into. I am my own worst critic, but hey at least I am honest. Overall this was fun!

I think for next time though I am going to drizzle chocolate and peanut butter over the Rice Krispies treats and  see how that goes. Hope you try them out yourself and Enjoy! Bon Appetit!
