I spent my weekend watching a part 5 documentary of the OJ Simpson trial which was infuriating and I shouldn’t have allowed myself to watch it. But it was also very interesting and I’m probably gonna start another OJ documentary later today.
I also nibbled on these Maple Bacon Rice Krispies Treats.
I had the most amazing Apple Crumble Chicken and Waffles a few weeks ago and ever since then, I can’t stop thinking about maple syrup with savory foods.
Bacon is good with everything but it turns out that bacon is especially good with marshmallows and maple syrup and Rice Krispies. Even my kids liked them and they usually balk at me putting bacon in sweets.
Ingredients for Maple Bacon Rice Krispies Treats
- Butter – you can use a nondairy butter if you want
- Mini marshmallows
- Maple syrup
- Bacon – you want to cook the bacon until crispy so it stays nice and crunchy in the rice krispies treats. You could also do turkey bacon or even a plant-based bacon if you prefer!
- Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Prepare. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Make marshmallow mixture. Melt butter and marshmallows over medium heat. Once melted and smooth, remove from heat and stir in maple syrup and half of the bacon.
- Add cereal. Add cereal and stir to combine.
- Let set. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and spread to the sides. Sprinkle with remaining bacon. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
I recommend storing these rice krispies treats in the refrigerator before of the bacon. They will be good for about 3 days.
Make sure to store them in an airtight container so they retain as much moisture as possible.
