A black baking pan holds a batch of nine light golden brown, crispy rice cereal treats arranged in a 3x3 grid, with a few pieces missing from the bottom left corner. Each square treat is dense and compact, showing the textured mixture of puffed rice with visible coating of melted marshmallow or syrup that gives a glossy, slightly sticky surface. In front of the pan on a white marbled surface, two individual squares rest separately, revealing their thickness and chewy texture with air pockets inside.

Ingredients

5 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
7 Biscoff Cookies
4 tablespoons salted butter
½ cup Biscoff Cookie Butter
10 ounces marshmallows

Instructions

Step 1: Grease a large mixing bowl and an 8-inch or 9-inch square pan with butter or baking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Pour the Rice Krispies Cereal into the greased bowl.
Step 3: Break up 6 of the Biscoff Cookies into small pieces and toss them in with the cereal.
Step 4: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and Biscoff Cookie Butter together.
Step 5: Add the marshmallows and stir occasionally until about 75% melted.
Step 6: Remove from heat and continue stirring, pressing down on the marshmallows until completely melted and smooth.
Step 7: Alternatively, melt the butter, cookie butter, and marshmallows in the microwave in 1 to 1½ minute bursts on high, stirring between each burst.
Step 8: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and cookie pieces, then stir until everything is well coated.
Step 9: Gently press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
Step 10: Break the remaining Biscoff Cookie into very small pieces and sprinkle them over the top of the treats.
Step 11: Press the cookie crumbs lightly into the top so they stick to the surface.
Step 12: Let the treats cool completely for at least 30 minutes before cutting into 16 squares and serving.

Tips & Variations

Use natural peanut butter or almond butter in place of Biscoff Cookie Butter for a different nutty flavor.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance the spiced cookie flavor.
For extra crunch, toss in chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts along with the cookies.
Press the mixture firmly into the pan using a piece of wax paper or a spatula for easier removal and cleaner edges.
Try drizzling melted white or dark chocolate on top once cooled for an indulgent finish.

Storage

Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them fresh and chewy. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week, but let them come to room temperature before serving to soften. These treats can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw completely before cutting.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cereal?

Yes, you can swap Rice Krispies for other puffed rice cereals or even corn flakes, but the texture will vary slightly. Rice Krispies provide the classic light and crispy texture perfect for this recipe.

What if I don’t have Biscoff Cookie Butter?

If you don’t have Biscoff Cookie Butter, you can substitute with peanut butter, almond butter, or any other nut or seed butter, although the flavor will be different. Using cookie butter, when available, gives the unique caramelized spice flavor characteristic of Biscoff treats.
