Rice Krispy treats are super easy and loads of fun to make and with a little bit of creativity, you can take this simple snack to a whole new level.
This is my idea of a more updated and adult version of one of my favorite childhood snacks.
I decided to try a product I’ve been eyeing for a while now, Nielsen Massey extracts, and they really helped to intensify the flavors of everything and made this simple recipe not taste so “simple.” These treats are the perfect cure to any sweet tooth!
