Nutella Rice Krispy Treats

Nutella Rice Krispy treats – what’s not to love!

I adore rice krispy treats! Not the thins ones, either. I like them thick. As in a double batch in the same size pan as a single recipe thick. I always add vanilla and extra marshmallows, too. On more than one occasion I have had a child tell their mother, “Mom, her’s are so much better than yours.” To date, most of the moms have asked me what I do different; only one has gotten upset. The only thing I do differently is to add vanilla and make ’em thick.

As I went to the pantry to get the ingredients for a fresh batch of regular Rice Krispy treats, I spotted a jar of Nutella. “Hmmm. Nutella Rice Krispy treats. That could be really good.”, I thought, “Let’s try it!”

For the first batch, I didn’t use enough Nutella or vanilla. I remedied that for the second batch and they turned out divine! Scroll down for the recipe.
