When we visited the WWOHP last, the Hubs picked up a treat for me from HoneyDukes as we were leaving. It was an extremely large {it took me several days to eat it} rice crispy treat with a thick layer of chocolate on top. It was definitely delicious, but oh so rich. I could only handle a little at a time.
Since then, I have been thinking a lot about that treat. So when the Hubs asked me to recreate it last week, I was totally into it, but I also wanted to put the ole BNP spin on it.
Whenever we go to the movies lately I almost always buy either a popcorn and M&M’s or my go-to, Buncha Crunch. And we have been seeing a lot of movies lately, which means Buncha Crunch is on my brain, in my mouth, and around the house. So I thought, why not combine my love for Buncha Crunch with my long lost treat from the WWOHP.
So not only did I put my beloved Buncha Crunch in the everyday, average rice crispy treat, but I also put them on top…Oh yeah, and I drizzled chocolate and peanut butter on top of that. Because.
Recipe by Carrie
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 package {10 oz.} marshmallows
- 6 cups rice crispy cereal
- 1 cup Buncha Crunch candy, plus more for topping
- chocolate drizzle
- peanut butter drizzle
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment or grease thoroughly with baking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large saucepan, melt your butter on medium heat.
- Add your marshmallows and stir until they are completely melted.
- Add your rice crispy cereal, 2 cups at a time, and mix well.
- Take your rice crispy mix off of the heat, and stir in your Buncha Crunch. Keep in mind that the longer you stir, the more they will melt. I mixed it as quickly as possible before pouring it in the pan.
- Pour your rice crispy mix into prepared pan and using a spatula, press firmly until it is level.
- Top with additional Buncha Crunch, and let cool.
- To make the chocolate and/or peanut butter drizzle, you will need Candy Melts. You can pick them up at any craft store.
- Melt the candy according to the package directions.
- Using a disposable piping bag or ziploc bag, pour melts into the bag and snip the end.
- Drizzle the rice crispy treats with the chocolate/peanut butter both vertically and horizontally.
How have I never heard of Buncha Crunch!? It looks totally delicious! And the peanut butter drizzle? I’m dying! PB is my favorite
