My worlds have collided. This Krispie Treat Fudge is the best of both fudge and gooey marshmallow treats!
Why this Recipe is Best
Today I pulled a fast one on my family. You see, they have a strict rule with me that I am no longer allowed to make Rice Krispie Treats.
It’s not because I make them poorly (because my recipe is amazing).
It’s because I don’t share.
They are my Achilles heel, so to speak. I will fight even the smallest child for the last, Perfect Rice Krispie Treat at a potluck. (don’t think I’m kidding).
I have been caught eating an entire pan, by myself, before my children even arrive home from school. Guilty.
Hey, it’s not my fault that I perfected how to make rice krispie treats!
So, in an effort to get around their “rules”, I created this delicious Krispie Treat Fudge.
One of my favorite versions of a krispie treat is this Avalanche recipe. It comes from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. It’s rich, and chewy, and mouthwatering.
I kept the peanut butter out of today’s fudge recipe because I wanted the fudge to taste more like a classic krispie treat. However, adding peanut butter is on my ‘to do’ list for next time. And yes, there WILL be a next time!

Rice Krispie Treat Fudge
My worlds have collided. This Krispie Treat Fudge is the best of both fudge and gooey marshmallow treats!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- pinch of salt
- 11 ounces white chocolate chips
- 7 ounces marshmallow cream
- 2 ½ cups rice krispies
- 3 cups miniature marshmallows
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, add heavy cream, butter, sugar and salt. Heat over medium high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue to stir and boil for a full 4 minutes (a good rolling boil). Remove from heat.
- To a large mixing bowl, add white chocolate morsels and marshmallow cream. Pour hot sugar mixture over this. Using an electric mixer, beat until white chocolate is melted and creamy (about 1 minute). Fold in mini marshmallows and cereal.
- Pour into an 13 x9-inch baking dish that is lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle immediately with mini chocolate chips Refrigerate for 3 hours, or overnight.
- Cut into 64 bite-sized pieces.
Notes
- Unlike most fudge recipes, today's should be eaten within 3-5 days for best flavor. The cereal will get chewy if you keep it much longer.

I’ve made this for my daughters class and it was a HUGE hit! I’m going to make them again this year but I’d like to bring down the sugar content. Do you think I could simply reduce the amount of sugar and count on the marshmallows and white chocolate to bind it all or will it lose some of it’s fudgy-ness? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who fights small children for dessert. Hey, all’s fair in love, war and dessert. Take no prisoners!
I love that you used fudge as a loophole for not baking krispie treats. You are hilarious, Aimee!
