You have the yummiest chocolate, caramel, cookie bars and never even had to turn on the oven! These are now officially my favorite homemade dessert treat. Buckle up, cuz they are about to be your favorite too:
I have a confession to make. I’m not really a big fan of Rice Krispie Treats. I KNOW, RIGHT? I love how easy they are and I’ll eat one if it’s there, but I’ve never made them or bought them because I actually wanted them. But THEN I saw a recipe where someone had added a layer of caramel and chocolate on top and the TWIX Candy Cookie Bars lover in me went BONKERS just looking at the picture. Upon further investigation, however, the recipe had peanut butter all through it – in the chocolate layer, the rice krispie layer and even in the caramel layer.
BOOO flippin HISSS! I have nothing against peanut butter, fyi, just don’t mess with my TWIX flavors. Which I had imagined. And already devoured in my wide awake dreams. So I got to thinking…what would keep it EASY and no bake and NOT be rice krispies yet give the yumminess of TWIX in the cookie layer part? DOYEE! NILLA WAFERS! And bonus: they come in MINI size. Say wha? It’s like the stars were aligning and all that. Lucky for me – lucky for you! Let’s do this, shall we?
