Cereal Treats Thief?
My company is a great place to work and we have lots of great perks. One of the best are the snacks we get delivered to the office — it seems so small, but in the middle of the afternoon when you need a bit of a rush to get through the rest of the day, the snack cabinets are a godsend.

Recently, it seemed that someone was nipping all of the Rice Krispies Treats from the 100-calorie variety packs. All of the boxes were totally full of the other snacks and completely void of any Rice Krispies Treats. I’m actually not sure it was any one person, but it was certainly clear that Rice Krispies Treats are the most popular of all of the snacks.

This got me in the mood to make some homemade cereal treats to bring into the office. And tonight, I finally made them. Of course, I can’t just make plain treats — I jazzed them up with a bunch of mix-ins both sweet and salty: chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, crushed up Oreos, and pretzel sticks!

Adding mix-ins to cereal treats is a little tricky, especially mix-ins that will melt like chocolate chips. Be a little careful mixing those in and do so toward the end of mixing the Rice Krispies with the warm marshmallow fluff, otherwise, you’ll have melted chocolate which isn’t necessarily bad tasting, but definitely doesn’t look as nice.
Kitchen Sink Rice Krispies Treats
Equipment
- 9×13 baking pan
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 16 oz marshmallow fluff
- 10 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- ½ cup pretzel sticks broken into small pieces
- 20 Oreo cookies broken into small pieces
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup peanut butter chips
Instructions
- In a small, non-stick pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the Fluff, and stir, stir, stir until the Fluff and butter are combined and the Fluff is melted.
- In a large bowl, dump in the Rice Krispies, pretzels, and Oreos. Pour in the Fluff mixture and stir, stir, stir until the Fluff is mixed in evenly with the Rice Krispies. Once everything is mixed and cooled down a bit, add the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips and stir just a few times until mixed well (any more time and the chocolate and peanut butter might start to melt.)
- Pour into a 9×13 pan and push it into the pan. Once the treats are cooled, cut into 24 squares.
