Instructions

1. Prep everything

I suggest starting by cleaning your countertop (you’ll be rolling your Rice Krispie treat on it later), and gathering/measuring out all your ingredients. This recipe moves quickly and it’s nice to be prepared for the next steps. 

 2. Make the Rice Krispie Base

Take about ½ cup of the mini marshmallows and mix in with the dry Rice Krispies in a large bowl. In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until smooth. Mix in the vanilla, then remove from heat. Pour the mixture into the Rice Krispies and quickly stir until evenly coated.

3. Roll It Out

Have a small bowl of water ready to dip your fingers into so they don’t stick to the Rice Krispies. Lightly wet down your clean countertop and dump your warm Rice Krispie mixture on it. Shape it into an even rectangle (about ¾ -1 inch thick). Let it cool slightly but not completely—this helps it roll without cracking.

4. Toppings

Once the Rice Krispie layer is cool but still pliable, spread an even layer of peanut butter over the surface. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or butter). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Pour it on the peanut butter layer and smooth out. Sprinkle on your chopped Reese’s cups (or any kind of chocolate you want!)

5. Roll It Up

Moisten your hands with the water and start to lift an edge of the Rice Krispie treat, continue rolling, not too tightly, and squeeze it together gently as you go to help it stay together. Remember, keep dipping your hands in the water to prevent sticking!

6. Chill & Slice

Gently roll the log onto a large cutting board or cookie sheet and place it in the fridge for about 30 minutes-1 hour to set. Once it’s firm, slice it into 1-inch rounds and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Sprinkle on chopped nuts or use any kind of candy or chocolate bar you want!

Make it festive by drizzling white or dark chocolate or colored icing on top of the rounds! Pink & Blue would be cute for a gender reveal party!

These Reese’s Rice Krispie roll-ups are bound to become a household favorite. They have the perfect mix of gooey, crunchy, and chocolatey goodness that makes them absolutely irresistible. Whether you serve them at a gathering, pack them in a lunchbox, or enjoy them straight from the fridge, they’ll disappear in no time.

I hope you try these and love them as much as we do! If you make them, let me know how they turned out—I’d love to hear your thoughts or see your creative variations. Happy snacking!
