two cookie butter crispy treats on a white plate with the pan of treats in the background

I have never made rice crispy treats before. Ever. In fact, I don’t even really like them that much. At least not the packaged kind. But when I saw Rice Krispies cereal in a French grocery store, I immediately hoarded a box into our shopping cart. Like if I didn’t buy them right then and there, they might never return. You see, there aren’t very many cereal choices for me here in France.

I am definitely not a fan of the sweet, sugary cereals, and that seems to be all you can get here. I would choose Crispix or granola over Cocoa Puffs any day. Of course, I’ve been to the store several times since I purchased that box of Rice Krispies, and they are still always there, but I’m still glad I impulsively picked one up because it inspired me to make a delicious and super easy treat. I combined one of my favorite French (okay, maybe it’s really just European) flavors with a classic American recipe. Speculoos + Rice Krispies = wonderful.

Melt the butters. In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the cookie butter and butter, stirring occasionally until melted. When the butters are well combined and melted slowly stir in the marshmallows. When the marshmallows are melted, remove from heat.

Mix in the krispies. Place rice krispies in an extra large mixing bowl, the more room the better. Using a rubber, slowly stir the marshmallow mixture into the rice krispies. You can spray your spatula with cooking spray to help with the stickiness. Spread the mixture into a greased baking pan and press gently to smooth the top. Chill for 20-30 minutes before slicing.
