    Our Butterfinger Candy Rice Krispie Treats are tasty-delish rice krispies made with a combination of peanut butter, marshmallow, and chopped Butterfinger! 

    On top is a layer of milk chocolate drizzles and more Butterfinger candy bits!  This recipe is basically what one calls 'a naughty lil' pleasure'.  

    We have two very major American treats in this winning combination.  

    Did someone mention Butterfinger and Rice Krispies in the same sentence? Well, all I know is..."Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger Rice Krispie Treats!"  That's what Bart Simpson says when Homer tries to steal his favorite candy bar.  ðŸ™‚

    As you know, Butterfinger is a popular, delicious peanut-butter and chocolate candy bar. And, Rice Krispie Treats are a sweet treat made from rice krispies, with butter and marshmallows all melted together and cut into squares.

    Rice Krispies & Butterfinger Trivia!

    • The recipe for Rice Krispies Treats was listed on the side of the cereal box for the first time in 1941.   Malitta Jensen and Mildred Day, who worked for Kellogg's, created the first Rice Krispies Treats in 1939. Rice Krispies rock! Could you imagine life without them? 
    • Can you guess what was lost  in 1981, after Nabisco acquired the Curtiss Candy Company that invented Butterfinger? -----> The recipe!  Whoa!!  Thankfully, similar recipes were developed by Nabisco to keep the public happy and sales up. Thank goodness!
    • These Butterfinger treats are the most incredible, alluring, dessert treats I've ever eaten.  They will keep calling your name to indulge, indulge, indulge!  So, you've been warned ahead of time, once you've taken a bite.  You won't S T O P.

    How to Make Butterfinger Treats! 

    • Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray, set aside.
    • Melt butter over low heat so it does not burn. Once the butter is melted add in the mini-marshmallows.
    • Stir the marshmallows until they start to melt. Add in peanut butter and continually stir so they do not burn.
    • Once the peanut butter and marshmallow are melted together remove the pan from the heat and stir in rice krispies and ½ of the chopped Butterfinger candy bar and mix together.
    • Pour the mix into baking pan and press down until the mix is compacted together, without over-compacting.
    • Melt milk chocolate and pour into a pastry bag or ziplock bag-snip corner and drizzle chocolate on top or you can spread it on top with a spatula.  Add remainder of Butterfinger candy bar on top.
    • Another topping idea is to melt â…” cup milk chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon peanut butter together and spread or drizzle on top of bars.
    • Once cooled, cut into bars.

      If doubling the recipe and I only have large marshmallows, how many oz. of marshmallows do I need?

      • ChocolaTess says

        December 19, 2017 at 6:00 pm

        8 ounces or 32 large marshmallows is the conversion. Hope that helps Sherry! Enjoy!

      Could you do te chocolate drizzle, butter finer sprinkle then additional chocolate all before you cut the squares? Seems like it would be easier it there could be issues that aren't coming to mind. Thanks!

      • ChocolaTess says

        Beth, yes you can do it that way. I've done it both ways. Enjoy!

      This sounds divine! Butterfinger and Clark Bars were my favorite candy bars growing up! ? My question to you Chocola Tess is have you ever doubled the batch to a 13×9in. baking dish? And if so, did it all come together as well as the single/smaller batch?
      Thank you for your time! ?
      P.S. My email is in lower case letters. For some reason it won't let me adjust the case.

        No but you can and it should be fine to do that Donna! These are super yummy! Clark bars are awesome too! I hope you enjoy them and thank you for commenting!!

      I am interested in making this. However, looking at the recipe I came up with a question. Where exactly does the 1 teaspoon shortening come in? I don't see it mentioned anywhere in the steps.

        Carissa, it's Step #10. Hope that helps and enjoy!! They are soo good!
