Created by: Courtney
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Resting Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 35 minutes
Yield: 12 bars
These kitchen sink rice krispie treats are packed with gooey marshmallows, crispy rice cereal, salty pretzels, crunchy potato chips, colorful M&Ms, and mini chocolate chips. Each bite is the perfect combination of sweet, salty, chewy, and crunchy textures. Easy to make and loaded with mix-ins, these no-bake bars are always a crowd favorite.

Ingredients 

  • ½ cup (114 g) unsalted butter
  • 20 oz (567 g) mini marshmallows
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp (½ tsp) salt
  • 5 ½ cups (155 g) crispy rice cereal
  • 2 cups (100 g) mini marshmallows
  • 1 ¼ cups (60 g) roughly chopped salted pretzels (divided - 1 cup for the Rice Krispie treats & ¼ cup for the top of the bars)
  • 1 ¼ cups (35 g) roughly chopped salted ruffle potato chips (divided - 1 cup for the Rice Krispie treats & ¼ cup for the top of the bars)
  • 1 cup (200 g) M&M candies (divided)
  • ½ cup (100 g) mini M&M candies (divided)
  • ¼ cup (45 g) mini chocolate chips (divided)
  • ½ tsp (½ tsp) flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Prepare a 9×13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and parchment paper. Extend the parchment paper up the sides of the pan to easily remove the rice krispie treats from the pan.
  • In a large saucepan on the stovetop over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add in 20 ounces of mini marshmallows and stir until the marshmallow mixture is melted and smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Then, fold in the crispy rice cereal, additional mini marshmallows, chopped salted pretzels, and chopped salted ruffle potato chips until well coated in the melted marshmallow mixture.
  • Spread half of the rice krispie treat mixture into the prepared baking pan. Moisten your hands with water, and gently press the mixture into the pan creating an even layer.
  • Sprinkle ½ cup of the M&M candies, ¼ cup of the mini M&M candies, and 2 tablespoons of the mini chocolate chips over the rice krispie treat layer.
  • Spread the remaining rice krispie treat mixture evenly over the chocolate. Lightly moisten your hands with water, then gently press the mixture into the pan to create an even layer.
  • Press the remaining pretzels, potato chips, M&Ms, mini M&Ms, and mini chocolate chips into the rice krispie treats. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Allow the rice krispie treats to set in the pan for 1 hour before removing and cutting into squares. For easier slicing, you can also chill the bars for 30 minutes.

Notes

Storing & Serving:
  • Room temperature: Store the rice krispie treats in an airtight container or resealable storage bag at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.
  • Refrigerator/Freezer: I do not recommend storing rice krispie treats in the refrigerator or freezer, as it can affect their soft and chewy texture. However, you can briefly chill the bars before cutting to help them firm up and make slicing easier.
