We grew up making the classic rice krispies treats. They are simple and come together in no time at all. We loved eating them for after school treats. We decided to jazz them up a little with peanut butter and Butterfinger candy bars. It’s the perfect combo for this delicious no bake dessert.
These delicious Butterfinger Rice Krispie Treats came about because of leftover Halloween candy one year. You can purchase snack size Butterfingers all year round. After one bite of these Butterfinger Rice Krispies treats, there may be no going back! You’ll be hooked.
