"While some cooks love to jazz up Rice Krispies Treats, others will tell you that the classic recipe is perfect and extra ingredients can never improve on it. To please both camps, swap out the cereal for other crispy, crunchy goodies to make treats that are familiar yet delicious in their own right - no comparisons needed. One nostalgic snack that deserves the Rice Krispies Treatment is a sleeve of Ritz Crackers."
"If you're used to eating these classic crackers with cheese, this idea may sound out there, but there are lots of creative ways to use Ritz that involve sweet ingredients. Ritz Crispy Treats may be one of the best, as the buttery, salty crackers both complement and contrast with the gooey marshmallows. The denser crunch of Ritz also creates more filling, satisfying treats that you can really sink your teeth into."
Swapping Ritz crackers for Rice Krispies transforms marshmallow bars into sweet-and-salty, buttery, crunchy treats. The crackers' denser crunch and savory notes complement gooey marshmallows and create more filling, satisfying bars. Preparation mirrors classic crispy treat methods: crumble crackers finely or coarsely, melt butter and marshmallows together, mix in the crackers, then press into a pan to set. The texture can range from Rice Krispies-like to extra crunchy depending on crumble size. These bars are quick and easily customizable with add-ins like salted caramel, chocolate, or other mix-ins that enhance the crackers' buttery-salty profile. Both adults and kids enjoy the resulting treats.
