Butterfinger Rice Krispie Treats

One word, AMAZING, they should come with a warning label!!!

My husband's favorite candy bar is a Butterfinger, but I am not a big fan of them, at least until now. These crazy treats are addicting. I am so excited to share it with you!

These treats are so easy to make, and yet look like you spent hours on them. They are a perfect treat for your BBQ plans this weekend with the official kick-off of summer. This recipe was inspired by one I found on Six Sister's Stuff, but I have made a few changes to make them that much easier, without sacrificing the delicious flavor and look of the treat. Ready...here you go!!

Butterfinger Rice Krispie Treats:
2 T. butter
1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
1-10 oz. bag mini marshmallows
6 c. Rice Krispie cereal
8-10 fun size Butterfinger candy bars, chopped and divided
2 squares chocolate flavored almond bark, found in your grocer's baking aisle by the chocolate chips

Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat until melted. Add the peanut butter and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until marshmallows are melted. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir in half of the Butterfingers, that have already been chopped. Empty the pot into your baking dish and press the mixture down into the pan. (The easiest way to do this is to spray a rubber spatula with cooking spray and use that to press down the mixture).
Sprinkle the remaining Butterfinger pieces over your treats, spreading them around the whole pan. Melt the almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Drizzle the chocolate over your treats with either a fork or a spoon. Enjoy!!!
