Rice Krispy Treats with Almond Butter and White Chocolate M&M’s

 
Dangerous. White chocolate M&M’s are dangerous! These M&M’s have been popping up all over the blog world lately since Easter is right around the corner and all the holiday candy is out. They are too good to be true and I had to pick up a bag. What also is too good to be true is I also been craving rice krispy treats. Random right? My best friend makes the best kind that are super gooey. I wanted to make my treats a little different. I figured peanut butter and chocolate is always my favorite combo. With the white chocolate, almond butter sounded like the right pair for these treats. I cut back on the butter and added more almond butter when I was melting the marshmallows. Mix in the white chocolate M&M’s and you have a perfectly delicious treat. Great for Easter or just because they sound so darn good right about now!

Rice Krispy Treats with Almond Butter and White Chocolate M&M’s
By Fallon

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup creamy almond butter with sea salt
3 cups miniature marshmallows
3 cups crispy rice cereal
2-3 handfuls of white chocolate M&M’s

Directions:
Spray a 9 inch square glass baking pan with cooking spray, set aside.

In a large pot melt butter over low heat, stirring until butter is melted and brown. Stir in almond butter quickly, then add marshmallows stirring until melted and combined. Remove from heat and mix in crispy rice cereal until all combined and cereal is coated. Add a few handfuls of M&M’s and mix quickly to combine. Pour into a square baking pan and spread evenly. Cool completely and cut into 16 squares.

Even though you should let them cool completely, you should try them after about 10 minutes. The white chocolate M&M’s will melt in your mouth, since they are still a bit warm.

   

These are definitely going into work tomorrow!

Always,

Easter Care Package!

Although my parents are miles away, my mom still surprises me with care packages!! Basically she is shipping me items I had left home, but this last package was special. She added Easter candy and the CUTEST pair of Toms. Yes, this might be my 4th pair of Toms and they definitely won’t be my last. If you don’t know what Toms are check out this link HERE. These Toms are very special to me because my mom had an artist paint on the blank canvas at a local Wholefoods in Las Vegas. I told her I wanted some flower and this quote, “Live, Laugh, Love.” I was surprised with a huge sunflower to blend everything together. They came out awesome! Another reason why they are so special is my aunt, who bless her heart passed away almost 3 years ago, favorite flower. These Toms mean a lot to me and I’m so proud that I can own a pair that is unique for myself.

 

Oh the Easter candy. The other highlight of my package. She picked up some Trader Joe’s candy and I can’t stop eating it. I had to hide it somewhere in a kitchen cabinet so I couldn’t hear the malted milk eggs talking to me. Oh and the creamy, delicious, peanut butter eggs beat the you-know-which-ones. Love that they don’t have that fake peanut butter taste as well.  Plus all those Cadbury eggs are for Mike. We spilt one the other day and I can’t believe how sweet these are. I use to eat several in 1 sitting, now I can barely eat half. But the box of malted milk eggs I do not have a problem with. Nope!! ;) We have so many Cadbury eggs I may bake them into something. I know I could find some neat recipes here.

Thanks Mom and Dad!!!

 

What are you doing for Easter?

We are heading up to Savannah, GA for the weekend. I can’t wait!

Have a great weekend and Happy Easter to all who celebrate.

Love,

Fallon
