These bars offer everything you want in a sweet treat: simplicity, flavor, and that unbeatable gooey texture. They’re quick to whip up, require no oven, and give you a satisfying crunch with every bite. Plus, the Snickers pieces melt just enough to blend beautifully with the buttery marshmallow base.

What Kind of Snickers Should I Use?

Ingredients for the Snickers Rice Crispy Treats

This treat only needs a few pantry staples, but each one plays a key role in flavor and texture. Make sure to use fresh marshmallows and good-quality Snickers for the best results.

• Butter
• Mini marshmallows
• Rice crispy cereal
• Snickers bars
• Peanut butter
• Caramel sauce

How To Make the Snickers Rice Crispy Treats

Step 1: Melt the Butter and Marshmallows

In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until they melt into a smooth mixture.

Step 2: Add the Peanut Butter

Turn off the heat and stir in the peanut butter until fully incorporated. This adds richness and enhances the nutty flavor.

Step 3: Fold in the Cereal and Snickers

Gently mix in the rice crispy cereal, then fold in half of the chopped Snickers bars while the mixture is still warm. They’ll start to melt just slightly, which is perfect.

Step 4: Press Into Pan and Top with More Snickers

Press the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Snickers over the top, lightly pressing them in.

Step 5: Drizzle with Caramel

Warm the caramel sauce slightly and drizzle it generously over the top of the bars. Let everything set for at least an hour before cutting.

How to Store and Serve These Bars

These bars can be sliced into 16 to 20 servings depending on how big you like them. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If it’s warm out, you can refrigerate them to keep the chocolate firm, but bring them to room temp before serving for the best texture.
