Captain Almond Krispy Krunch Treats

Rice Krispy treats are a big hit in our household but the same recipe all the time gets mundane. So to change things up this recipe puts in some Captain Crunch. Another favorite mix-in is almonds so to give the recipe some crunch, stir in a bunch of almonds.

 Here’s how:

Ingredients

4 cups Krispy Rice cereal

2 cups Captain Crunch (any flavor)

1/2 cup sliced almonds

4 cups mini marshmallows

1/4 cup butter

Directions

Melt together butter and marshmallows. The microwave works great for this just do it in 30 second bursts, stirring in between because it doesn’t always heat evenly.

Stir in cereals and almonds until well combined.

Press into a well-buttered baking dish. Cut after cooled.

Variations

You can use large marshmallows but they a bit more difficult to melt.

Other nuts and cereals make great mix-ins. Cocoa Pebbles give a chocolate spin. Walnuts add a great flavor.

Would I Make It Again?

We do this on a pretty regular basis, especially as the holidays approach.

Use parchment paper or waxed paper if you don’t want the additional butter from the greased pan.
