Your favorite Rice Krispies Treats combined with Cheez-It Crackers and Rolo Chocolate Caramels.
I don’t even know. I just don’t.
It all started with a bag of chocolate covered raisins, which then lead to a bag of Rolo Chocolates, and because I thought I needed to add some saltiness to my junkapalooza, I ate half the bag of Cheez-Its.
Now, we know what I did with the raisins… made us some Oatmeal Chocolate-Covered Raisin Cookies, of course.
But, when a baking/cooking binge starts, I can’t just stop at cookies. My hips wish I would, however my heart tells them to shoooosh!
Thus, following my heart, I had to make us these all-grown up, taken up to the next level Rice Krispies Treats with Cheez-It Crackers and Rolos. All because that’s how we roll-o! <— I make funny, you no laughy… 😉
You know, my husband thought all the bags of chocolates and caramels were for Halloween… I literally laughed in his face. Dude. Have we met?! I buy Halloween candies on the day OF. What comes before that day is for me us to enjoy!! And the blog… the blog needs some candy-lovin’, too.
I made two batches of these lovelies. That same night they were promptly demolished. Then the next day, when I should have been doing my usual cleaning and laundry, I had to make one more batch because I had promised my dad some awesome snack-food for his road trip to Detroit.
He said he ate them all as soon as he crossed the border… that’s like 30 miles from here. That guy can eat. In case you’re wondering, which I’m pretty sure you are not, but I’ll tell you anyways… I get my foodie-love from my Daddy.
Finally, I had to make ONE MORE batch so that I could share it with you and a couple of friends that were coming by that night. This time I made the rice krispies in a 9×9 pan because I like ’em round and big… And when I’m throwin’ a gig, I just can’t help myself, I’m actin’ like an animal… I’m channeling Sir Mix-A-Lot…
What I meant to say was that I like them tall and SQUARE, and cut in half right before serving – they look like tall slices of cake.
If you want to stuff your face with sweet, chocolaty, salty amazing-somethings, please, please, please you have GOT TO make these. GOT TO!
ENJOY!

Needs more butter and marshmallow. I was stuck with a mess that was mostly dry Rice Krispies.
What the hell? Every single comment is by someone who WANTS to try this. Not a single person has made it. Why even comment? It might be absolutely disgusting!
These sound amazing, Kate. I seriously love that you added cheez-its!
Oh, oh…my! I want to dive into your pics…so delicious!!! Perfection to kill my daily cravings for sweet…since I dont have it -spoon of nutella will do for now:D
Recipes, pictures, everything about this post is amazing, Kate! I’m so jealous your family can eat these! I need to speed up my baking skills!
Okay… you have officially blown my mind. Cheez-its in a sweet dessert. They look amazing… I gotta try these. 🙂
Holy amazing, I HAVE to try these!!
hehe 🙂 Thank you!! 🙂
Wow. Just wow!! These bars would be my undoing. 😀
I totally get this. There’s something about cheddar + chocolate. SO weird, but awesome together.
I don’t like to talk about it in public, but I love Cheetos w Plain M&Ms!!
LOL! Oh goodness, I looooove Cheetos and I CAN’T WAIT to try them with M&Ms! Thanks for the idea, Coco!
Midnight is such a wrong time to be reading, I need a chocolate fix quickly now. These look beyond fabulous!
Chocolate, chocolate …never enough!
Great combo!
These look epic, and that caramel drizzle is so not optional!
Thanks for planting that song in my head for the remainder of the day 🙂 These look crazy good, Kate. Salty sweet combos are the best!
Salt and sweet combo-love it. I thought it was just me loving Rolo’s! I didn’t think they still existed!
I am definitely intrigued by this flavor combo. I’ve had cheetos dipped in chocolate and they were great! This is getting saved for later.
Yes, please! Will need a whole pan of these!
Goodness – these bars are glorious! I could definitely use a couple of these with my breakfast!
I can see why you had to make these so many times! I am so curious about this flavor combo now. Must try!
I would never have thought to combine rollo, cheez it and rice krispy treats into one! Which is why I MUST try this. Curiosity usually gets the better of me! Sir Mix a Lot would be impressed…HAHA!
