I put these together on a whim a few days ago and believe it or not, they were amazing! Salty sweet chewy heaven. So tasty!! They come together just as quickly as regular rice krispie treats, but with a more buttery salty bite. Suuuuper amazing and seriously had me craving these all day! Try them out and let me know what you think 🙂










Here’s how you make them:Start out with your ingredients: butter, vanilla, mini marshmallows and plain ruffles chips. Melt a little butter over medium low heat in a large pot. Add in the marshmallows and melt them down slowly.While the marshmallows are melting, chop up the chips to be bite size pieces. Or, just crush them in a bag…Back to the marshmallows: remove from the heat, add in a little vanilla…and stir that up real well.Then pour in the chopped up chips and stir to combine with the marshmallow.Pour that ooey-gooeyness into a lightly greased 9×9 pan and press down to flatten using buttered fingers. Cool to room temp, cut into bars and serve. Hello my darlings….how are you?Super salty and sweet, plus soft and chewy from all those marshmallows! Give these a whirl and try them today. TO.DIE.FOR!!!

Please tell me I can use Kettle Cooked Chips, my favorite!!!
Hope my grands like this?
These are so good, but next time I think I’ll throw in a handful of white chocolate chips with the potato chips.
Looks delicious. We love chocolate covered Ruffles so I’ll probably add milk chocolate chips too.
Is it one 8 ounce bag or an 18 ounce bag of chips? Sorry, confused by the note at the potato chips info for ingredients!
It’s just one 8-oz. bag.
I am totally confused. How much rice crispies? Is it 6 cups of crushed chips and rice crispies total?
I learned many many years ago to use the wrapper from a stick of butter to butter the dish and to push down the krispie treats. I always keep a few wrappers in a bag in the freezer so I have one when I need one.
So simply and tasty! Love the mix of sweet and salty. These were devoured in my house.
I was just telling someone about these and I realized I still haven’t tried to make them!! Maybe this winter break!
[…] 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 […]
So, maybe I did this wrong but ours were not as successful as I’d hoped. The salty was overpowered by the marshmallow and they were quite bland. We took them to game night and brought almost all of them home. We may not even finish them ourselves.
[…] into the shop was this crazy one! I think it’s called the stoner donut?! It reminded me of this recipe I make. It was salty, sweet, crunchy and […]
did anyone try using fluff instead of melting marshmallows??
I just made these. 10/10 will make again.
Now to resist eating the whole pan myself….
[…] Or maybe I’d just rather spend my time daydreaming about these. Or this. Or these. […]
I have been dying to try these. This might just be the weekend…unless my family eats the chips before I make them! 😉
Wasn’t impressed. Didn’t have much flavor. I wouldn’t make them again.
OM Goodness, these are so YUMMY! Had them, made them, love them…
I just made these but they taste more like chips than treats.
This is crazy GOOD!!!
These need to be drizzled in dark chocolate. Stat.
These are SOOOO delicious!!!!!!
Wondering if 1/2 rice krispies and 1/2 ruffles would work…
I have made these 6 times now….. They are a hit at parties…..however I have been experimenting with them….. The first time I added a cup of semi sweet chocolate chips to them….. Awesome!!!! The next time I added a cup of bacon bits to them…… Also amazing…… For a Christmas get together I uped it and added 3/4 of a cup if semi sweet chocolate chips and a 1/2 a cup of bacon bits!!! This was the ultimate mix…… I have made a three batches of it forChristmas Day!!! The possibilities is endless!!!!
I like your style Patti!!
Just made these. Used half chips half Rice Krispies. Turned out great.
Bravo!! Salty/sweet and simple! You are a kitchen genius!!

Bought ingredients to make today but unless I overlooked it recipe did not state how many rice krispies to add Help
You don’t add in any rice krispies…just ruffles chips!
Loved them! Tweeted a photo to you and to Ruffles.
I just made them yesterday..There are no words to describe the satisfaction I felt while eating them. Thank you for the amazing idea
Are you kidding me?! These are amazing! I have to make them.
I not dare to try them! They should be awful!
Ilaria
Genius! These sound ridiculously delicious!
Just made them… delicious!
Oh my goodness!!! These look amazing! I too have used all sorts of cereal before but never chips! Cinnamon toast crunch is fabulous! These look heavenly though! I think they are getting made pronto!
I never cared for rice krispie treats, but my kids loved them I made these, and I have to say, they were lacking something and I do not know what it was. I decided I should just eat the chips next time. I passed them on to my son and his college roommates…and he confessed that they ended up throwing them out. I do think the ritz cracker ones might be better. Meanwhile, most of the recipes you share and I make are a hit. The lemon crinkle cookies have become my son’s new favorite….above chocolate chip cookies…what?!!!!! True!!!!!

I decided to add rice krispies to this recipe! So I did three cups of cereal and three cups of chips! I think they are going to be amazing this way!!!
I’m confused! One 9.5oz Lays Potato chips crumbled came to less than 4 Cups.
I used Ruffles chips. I’m not surprised that there are less in a Lay’s bag. Ruffles are crinkle cut a little thicker.
These look amazingly like I need to go buy a bag of chips! However, could you make a clarification, please? Your recipe says:
6 cups crushed original ruffles chips, crushed {1 8-oz. bag}
Are we crushing then measuring 6 cups or measuring then crushing? Since you have crushed in twice it’s a bit confusing, though I’m assuming you mean 6 cups crushed?
The 8-oz. bag of chips after crushed turns out to be 6 cups of chips.
Holy hell. I need these now.
WOW I am diffidently making these tonight.
Well, this just made my WHOLE day! Cannot WAIT to try these!
[…] Or maybe I’d just rather spend my time daydreaming about these. Or this. Or these. […]
Just made these. We loved them. We’re having a raking party tomorrow, and are having them for our treat. I know everyone is going to love them. Had to make two batches to have enough.
[…] got the inspiration for these yummy treats from laurenslatest ruffles krispies treats, hers looked so good and I just had to have them! I made mine a bit […]
Ruffles are great dipped in white chocolate and I have also used marshmallow cream, vanilla, butter and a little whipping cream as a fondue with ruffles!

Delicious!! Running an “ultra” trail race this weekend and all my running friends cannot wait to have these as an on the trail snack to get us through 30+ miles. I made a “test” batch that are being devoured at work today 🙂 Thanks for this genius combination of salty & sweet!!!
Giving these a whirl tonight! My kids think I’m crazy but I bet that won’t last long 😉
This is pure genius! these wouldn’t even need to set before I ate the entire batch with a spoon!
My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
Just curious…why add the vanilla?
Never, in a million years, would I have thought to put these ingredients together – but it looks absolutely amazing! And I cannot stop thinking about them – salty and sweet – heavenly!
I didnt have enough chips for the whole recipe so I used 1/2 rice crispy cereal and 1/2 crushed crushed ruffles mixture and it was wonderful! – Thanks so Much! Cant wait to try it with all chips. I might add some m&m’s next time too!
I can totally see how these work in the sweet salty kind of way. What a great idea!
I love the sweet and salty combination here!
Do not tease me! This look amazing!
what an interesting idea! they must lend a nice saltiness to the krispie treat!
I… but… did you just… GIMME.
One question though: did these tear the living hell out of the roof of your mouth?
Not that I am not willing to pay that small price.
No way! These are the the ULTIMATE sweet and salty treat! I’m afraid to make these because I’d eat them all by myself :0)
I read this post yesterday and thought (and talked) about these all day. It is such a brilliant idea. I can’t wait to try them. I think my kids are going to love them. I’m also afraid I will love them… 🙂
Rice Krispies Treats are my favorite and I know I’m going to love these! Over the top!!
Amazingly delciious!
So odd but seriously sound so delicious!! Must try!
I love a good salty-sweet snack. Especially one with potato chips!!
On a side note, I really have to remember everyone I “know” online, I won’t see in my everyday life. I almost waved to a woman at the children’s museum last night that looked JUST LIKE YOU! I live in Wisconsin. Thank goodness I caught myself.
The ultimate salty sweet dessert!
Wow! These look like sweet-salty perfection, Lauren!!
Oh yeah- I can see how one’s first thought would be that it was strange. But when you really think about the salty & sweet – oh I think this could be a new addiction! YUM!
You smart rice krispies treat, you. Bravo!
And if being weird is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
I am in!!! Never cared for Rice Krispie treats. This is a different animal. Thanks . Drizzle with chocolate and salted caramel. Bliss!
Yup! Must. Have. These.
GENIUS!! Oh my gosh!
I can hardly wait to make these—sound great
Ummmmmmmm. YES. I’m dying over here. These look insane!!
These remind me of Peanut Butter Fritos, which are TO. DIE. FOR. I can’t wait to try these!!
Never heard of peanut butter Fritos .
What’s recipe for this?
I usually make these with cornflakes rather than Rice Krispies. Definitely going to try these with chips! Yum. And do try with cornflakes, it’s a nice change also.
Ooh, I’ll have to try that!
Interesting! Weirdly I think I love these!
Well at least I don’t have to worry about eating just one chip. I can HAVE a whole bar of chips if I like. These treats are awesome.
Oh em gee. I trust the Lauren, I do, I do. Absolutely phenomenal idea. You are the best!
Haha! Thanks! Hope you get to make these soon.
I hope I’m not dreaming… Is this for real?? LOVE!!!
I think I’m going to make these and top them with melted chocolate. Because, why not?
I was thinking the exact same thing! Making these tonight
Now I have to make them again with melted chocolate. Why do you do this to me? I mean REALLY.
salted caramel chips in the mix before the chocolate topping?
Welp, I kinda just died. In the best way possible 🙂
BRILLIANT! Oh my goodness, these look like salty/sweet heaven. Have to try them! 🙂
Holy cow!!
Oh my goooood you are a genius. These look SO good. Definitely starting to get into the sweet/savoury thing that I resisted for so long!
LAUREN! Genius. I need these in my life. Yesterday.
GENIUS!!!! Will have to try these ASAP!!! 🙂
