    Biscoff rice krispie treats are a 10-minute dessert made with biscoff (cookie butter), melted marshmallows, rice krispies, and brown butter. After trying and loving Biscoff Lotus cookie butter spread, I found a way to add it to a quick, easy, and delicious rice krispie recipe.

    As a kid, I was obsessed with rice Krispie treats. My mother didn't want us to eat the packaged version, so she made her own. I added cookie butter to the marshmallow rice krispie base for my daughter's second birthday. Game changer!

    Another great way to use cookie butter is this no-bake lotus biscoff cheesecake!

    What I Love About This Recipe

    Want to turn a basic rice krispie recipe into something a little more fancy? Try these 10-minute no-bake chewy biscoff rice krispie treats!

    These quick and easy treats only need four ingredients. Cut the marshmallow treats into any shape (something fun for the kids to do). Serve this delicious treat at kid's birthday parties, school lunches, family weekend gatherings, or just because.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Rice Krispies: Use plain Rice Krispies cereal.
    • Small Marshmallows: I recommend using mini marshmallows because they melt faster. Also, I add some marshmallows at the very end for pockets of yummy goodness. I haven't tried using the jar of whipped marshmallow cream, but my instincts tell me it won't work. You need solid marshmallows at room temperature so the rice krispie treats stay together.
    • Butter: My favorite butter brand is Kerrygold, but any butter will work. I use salted butter in this recipe.
    • Cookie butter: My favorite cookie butter is the lotus brand (Biscoff Lotus cookie butter). Cookie butter is a creamy spread that has the same consistency of peanut butter. Find cookie butter in the peanut butter aisle at grocery stores in your area. You can use nut butter if you can't find the cookie butter. In my childhood, this recipe was made with peanut butter instead of Biscoff Lotus cookie butter.

    pouring the rice krispies into a parchment paper lined baking dish

    In a baking pan with sides, put parchment paper. Scoop the biscoff rice krispies treats mixture onto the parchment paper.

    Using another parchment paper, press the Rice Krispies mixture firmly until flattened. Allow the Biscoff Rice Krispies to cool.

    cutting the cookie butter rice krispies

    Lift the biscoff krispie treats onto a solid cutting surface. Cut these cereal treats into any size and shape you want.

    Pro tip: Make sure the cookie butter rice krispie treats are cool before cutting, so they maintain their shape.

    Tips and Tricks

    • Melt the butter and cookie butter together before adding the marshmallows. The marshmallows melt evenly into the cookie butter and butter mixture this way.
    • Melt the marshmallows on medium heat: Add the mini marshmallows after turning the heat down to medium.
    • Use parchment paper to flatten the Rice Krispies: Press the Rice Krispies into a pan with sides using a piece of parchment paper.
    • Cut cereal bars into snack-sized squares: I cut my rice crispy treats into 12 large Rice Krispies treats or 16 small Rice Krispies treats. You can also use a cookie cutter and cut the Rice Krispies treats into different shapes. If you are going to use a cookie-cutter, I recommend making the Rice Krispies treats a little thinner so they are easier to cut. If you have leftover rice krispie mixture, press it into a small secondary pan.

    Substitutions and Variations

    • Make traditional rice krispie treats by omitting cookie butter and adding another cup of marshmallows.
    • Use any cookie butter: speculoos cookie butter or lotus biscoff cookie butter.
    • Substitute equal parts nut butter like peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter in lieu of cookie butter.
    • Add bits of lotus biscoff cookies for more cookie butter flavor!

      Wondering how the recipe translates using large marshmallows? Have them on hand and would love to use them instead of buying additional marshmallows. Thanks

        If you can cut the large marshmallows into quarters, it will be ok. You just can’t substitute marshmallow cream because the Krispie treats don’t really harden well.
