Ritz Krispie Treats are everything you love about regular rice krispie treats but are buttery, salty, and sweet too!
Remember my Ruffles Marshmallow Krispie Treats I made a few months back?
Well, I’ve got a new crazy cousin to introduce you to. Are you ready for this? Ritz Krispie Treats….just like Rice Krispie Treats, but with more marshmallows and crushed Ritz crackers! Buttery, salty, sweet treats is the name of the game.
Clearly, I have a new obsession.
If making new versions of rice krispie treats is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
This recipe is ridiculously simple to make and takes about 10 minutes of active time total to throw together, starting with these ritz crackers.
I think the longest part of this recipe is waiting for these to cool and set up so you can cut and eat them….although I won’t stop you from eating this by the spoonful warm. –>It’s pretty divine…not that I know or anything.
Buttery, tender-yet-crunchy, salty, sweet and vanilla-y! You guys are gonna die when you taste these.
Not really die, Mom.
They were the perfect sweet treat to hit the spot.
Give these a whirl today and let me know what you think! Have a great Wednesday, friends!

Huge hit! Very easy to make and such a great taste. My daughter wants to try putting melted chocolate layer on top next time. 🙂
What’s the best way to store these, making to take & travel?
Luv rice krispie treats but these r better then them!!! Couldn’t believe that was possible!!!
Hey there, I noticed questions about how many crackers to a sleeve. I ran into this problem when I made this recipe and failed, using sleeves that they now stock the short way, instead of the long way. (I understand that as a sales strategy, these aren’t the healthiest crackers, and we tend to eat a sleeve at a time.)
To help figure this out, I found two articles that mentioned that the old sleeves were 35 to a sleeve. If you have OCD like I do, I’d count up the crackers in a box, divide by 3 to get the per sleeve amount called for in recipes like this.
I gotta try this again…
I always do some holiday treats to give as gifts to family and friends, money was tight this holiday season, was worried I wasn’t going to be able to do much if anything this year, I searched in my cupboards and saw I had Ritz crackers and marshmallows, looked online and found this recipe, I said let’s try it.
OMG it is awesome!! Now I have a new treat to add to my holiday traditions
[…] Lauren and I both have a love of rice krispie treats and all their many forms. I happened to write a book about cereal desserts a couple of years ago. Lauren has made them with ruffles chips. I made them with pecans, caramel and chocolate and also with lucky charms. And she has made them with ritz. […]
[…] Yes!! This looks like the perfect combination of sweet, salty, ooey and gooey. I’m a huge Rice Krispie fan, and I have a feeling this may easily take it’s place. Go check out the recipe and instructions over at Lauren’s Latest. […]
hanks Lauren, but how many crackers does it take to make 3 cups of crushed crackers. I’d love it if someone could give me that number or a weight measurement.
My crackers don’t come in sleeves. Can someone tell me how many crackers to use or give me a measurement by weight?
