Butterscotch Toffee Rice Chex Treats

Rice Chex marshmallow treats with the rich flavors of butterscotch and toffee, for an easy no-bake cereal treat!  I was inspired by the classic Scotcheroo recipes using Rice Chex, but wanted to make a version that was free of peanut butter and corn syrup.  These treats are rich and decadent and take just minutes to make!

I feel like I make A LOT of cereal treats.  Probably because I do hahaha.  They are a favorite in our house and they literally take just minutes to make.  Marshmallow cereal treats are a great dessert option to bring to a party or to put in the kiddos lunch boxes!

Butterscotch Toffee Rice Chex Treats

Print Recipe
Serves: 30 Cooking Time: 2-minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 (16-ounce) bag mini marshmallows, divided
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I used Rodelle Bakers Extract)
  • 5 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup chopped toffee or Heath Baking Bits
  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1

Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil and spray the bottom and sides of the pan with baking spray. In a large pot on the stovetop over medium-high heat, add the butter. Melt the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows, reserving one cup of marshmallows. Stir constantly until marshmallows are completely melted and the butter and marshmallows are completely incorporated.

2

Remove the pan from the heat. Add the butterscotch chips and white chocolate chips immediately and stir until melted completely into the marshmallow-butter mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Stir in the Rice Chex cereal one cup at a time. Fold in the remaining cup of mini marshmallows and toffee. Stir until incorporated.

3

Pour mixture out into prepared pan and sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips on top. Let cereal treats cool and set completely before cutting into desired sized squares.

Notes

Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

Check out those layers!  Crunchy Rice Chex Cereal, ooey gooey melted marshmallows, butterscotch and chunks of toffee with a sprinkling of semi-sweet chocolate chips on top.  It’s what every cereal treat dreams of growing up to be hehehe.

The B. toffee I used in these treats are topped with pecans, which were a nice addition in these super-sweet treats. Use your favorite toffee or Almond Roca though. You can also use Heath Baking Bits as well!

XOXO,

Kelly
