Classic Rice Krispies topped with caramel and chocolate make the perfect Milky Way Rice Krispie Treats. I was in love with these when I made them. Not only are they gorgeous and easy to make but they’re sinfully good! I’m a huge Rice Krispie fan and my all-time favorite has been my Peanut Butter Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats but these Milky Way ones are definitely in the running now! The caramel layer is to die for…
Is everyone ready for Halloween or not so much? I still haven’t bought a pumpkin, whoops! But I did manage to get a wreath up on the door so I look a little festive 🙂 I even took a plate of these over the to neighbors!
First of all, don’t pay attention to my little ridge I made off to the right. I was already using my casserole dish and all I had to work with was this really huge pan, so I made do!
Yes, they do taste as good as they look. Maybe even better. Plus, to make taking these photos ever more fun, a friend let me borrow his fancy macro lens. Oh my, it was dreamy. Out of my budget, but it was so much fun to play around with it!

So simple, but I don’t think I’ve seen these before. They look so good! And I love,love,love your little Frankenstein cupcake!!!
This looks amazing, I have to try it- I have some Rice Krispies I was just going to use for some treats and this will make them even better! Thanks so much, loveeeee your site! 🙂
WADDUP!!!
What kind of chocolate chips are you using? Milk?
I haven’t made them, but I would recommend Ghirardelli’s milk Chocolate chips or 12 ounces of Hershey milk chocolate bar
These are DEFINITELY as good as they look-and kudos for the impromptu use of the larger pan-I’ve never thought of that, but it’s BRILLIANT!
I’ve had several requests for these wonderful bars-thanks for sharing the recipe!
I love your recipes!! I just made these with semi-sweet chocolate chips…. amazing….they’re my new favorite treat. thanks again for sharing!
Wow! These sound amazing! Milky Ways are the best!
Hi,
Could you please tell me what kind of carmel and chocolate chips you used?

I added some slightly salted peanuts to mine to offset some of the sweetness and make it like a snickers bar! amazing
Definitely will make these for school children for the Holidays and neighbors. However, I wonder if these squares can be frozen until the day of giving.
I’ve never tried freezing rice krispies!
