Toffee Snickerdoodle Rice Krispie Treats

Classic rice krispie treats collide with my favorite cookie from college: toffee snickerdoodles (otherwise known as Toffee Doodles)!

When I was in college, I used to buy these GIGANTIC cookies out of the vending machines in my dorm lobby. And these weren’t your mama’s vending machine cookies. We’re not talking Otis Spunkmeyer here. These cookies were huge, insanely good, and best of all– coated in chocolate on the bottom! There were lots of fun flavors (imagine Ben & Jerry’s, but with cookies), and my favorite was Black Bottom Toffee Doodle. Which was essentially a big snickerdoodle with chocolate toffee chunks and a thick layer of chocolate on the bottom. SO GOOD!

Toffee Doodle Rice Krispie Treats are totally the new Snickerdoodle. Just you wait.

A FEW THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT THIS RECIPE:

  • As you can see, I didn’t dip these rice krispie treats in chocolate like their namesake cookie. But what a good idea, right?! If you make these, you should probably give that a try ????.
  • If you want to really play up the toffee flavor, consider browning the butter before adding it to the melted marshmallows!
  • Be sure to use Heath Milk Chocolate Toffee Bits– not Bit O’ Brickle (which has NO chocolate at all).
  • Use parchment paper to press down on the RKT in the dish. This prevents a sticky mess, while still allowing you to compact and level out the treats.
