Flamin' Hot Rice Krispie Treats
The sweetness from the Rice Krispies perfectly balances out the fiery kick from the Flamin' Hot Cheetos. It's a match made in snack heaven.
Servings: 12 pieces
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Flamin' Hot Cheetos more or less to taste
- 10 oz marshmallows
- 5 cups rice krispies cereal
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Crush Flamin' Hot Cheetos. I do so by placing them in a ziploc bag and using a rolling pin to crush them.
- Melt the butter. It should be about 30 seconds in the microwave. Make sure to cover it because it could splatter a bit. Or on the stove, on low heat for about 5 minutes.
- As the butter melts, in a large bowl, melt the marshmallows. For a minute first and then 10 second intervals until ready. Stir well.
- Add the melted butter and honey. Mix well.
- Add the rice krispies and slowly mix well. In about a minute you should have a good mix going.
- In a parchment paper lined baking dish (9 x 11), spread the marshmallow mixture as flat as possible. I used an extra spatula to help me with that.
- Sprinkle the crushed Flamin' Hot Cheetos over top and press down lightly.
- Allow to set for at least 2 hours at room temperature or refrigerate for about 1 hour to speed up the process.
- Once ready, remove parchment paper from underneath, place on a cutting board and cut into 12 squares or the shape of your preference.
- You can store in a container on your countertop if desired. There is no need to refrigerate.
