MAPLE BACON KRISPIE TREATS RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Maple Bacon Krispie Treats Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 (12-ounce) box Rice Krispies cereal
1 box waffle ice cream cones, crushed, about 2 cups crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 (16-ounce) bag mini marshmallows
1/2 cup pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup)
1 (12 to 16-ounce) package lean bacon, cooked and crumbled/chopped (I used thick sliced)

Steps:

Generously butter a 13x9" baking dish. Set aside. Butter a large non-stick pot, then place cereal and crushed waffle cones in it. Set aside. In 3-qt. non-stick saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat; then add marshmallows and cook and stir until marshmallows are almost melted then stir in the maple syrup. Heat until completely melted and smooth. Pour hot mixture over the cereal and crumbs and stir until partially combined then add the crumbled bacon and stir until thoroughly combined. Spread mixture out evenly in the baking dish then pack it down firmly. Allow about 2 hours for mixture to set before cutting into squares.

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use real maple syrup instead of maple extract.
If you don't have brown sugar, you can use white sugar and add a tablespoon of molasses.
To make the treats extra gooey, add an extra 1/4 cup of marshmallows.
For a fun twist, add some chopped nuts or dried fruit to the treats.
Be sure to grease the pan well before pressing in the treats, or they will stick.
Let the treats cool completely before cutting them into bars, or they will be too soft and crumbly.
Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Maple Bacon Rice Krispies Treats are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover bacon and maple syrup, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
