I realize it has been a while since I had made krispie treats.
I know.
Things haven’t felt quite right for a while now.
You see, I am completely addicted to krispie treats…My favorite recipe ever ever ever is THIS ONE.
But here’s the thing, my husband isn’t a krispie guy. Or a marshmallow guy in general, so….
It was almost the reason we didn’t get married almost 11 years ago, but I was able to overlook that little imperfection.
I know, I know, I am really an adaptable person.
So I don’t make krispie treats as often as I would like. The concessions I make in life really should be rewarded with jewelry and spa days.
Anyhow, while he isn’t a krispie treat guy, he IS a Whopper guy. So I thought I would try and fix his krispie treat disorder by adding a bunch of his beloved malted milk balls into a big pan marshmallow coated cereal.
It didn’t work.
He just ended up eating all the Whoppers.
Whatever, more krispies for me.
Malted Milk Ball Krispie Treats…aka Whopper Krispie Treats
These really are totally easy.
Just chop up some Whoppers…
And measure out 3/4 cup of malted milk powder…it changes the whole situation…
You’re only gonna need about 4 cups of Rice Krispie cereal.
Then just go about your usual krispie making routine…
Until your marshmallows are ALMOST melted. Then add in the milk powder…
You want to get that good and mixed in with the marshmallows, but you don’t want the marshmallows to burn!
As soon as the malted milk powder and marshmallows are combined take the pot off the heat and add the cereal. Stir that until it’s coated well with the marshmallow mixture, and then add in the malted milk balls. You want to add these last, so the mixture cools slightly and doesn’t melt all the chocolate off of the balls.
Quickly press that into a 9×9 pan. I always line my pan with foil for krispies, because it makes them easier to remove. Just my personal preference.
Let them cool and that’s it!

Not a KRISPIE person or a Marshmallow person? How you ever made it down the aisle is beyond me. BEYOND.
Also, can I have his share?
I heart krispy treats… heart them. Yum!
Yea! I Iove your rice krispy posts! My husband’s starting to get over rice kripsy treats too because supposedly “I make them too often”… pshh, like that’s even possible. These photos are beautiful!
I have a friend who is OBSESSED with malt flavoring. I’ve been trying to come up with something creative for her so this is perfect!
Love these. I am a RKTreat addict. I made it my mission to make the best ever RKTs and figured out my favorite end-all-be-all recipe last month. And now…I see these. And am thinking these could be the end all be all!
Malt balls are the BEST!
I just made scotcharoos. Fun Rice Krispy bars are so much fun!

My husband is so the same! I LOVE Krispie treats and he doesn’t. Totally a good thing, more for me! These look delicious. WHoppers are from heaven.
