We’re sharing the perfect treat for any celebration. These 5 ingredient champagne rice krispie treats are a great option if you need a simple snack or dessert to help ring in the New Year!
It’s not always easy to find time to bake fancy desserts in the kitchen, so when I got a copy of Lauren Grier’s cookbook Modern Comfort Cooking: Feel-Good Favorites Made Fresh and New and was flipping through the gorgeous pages, these champagne marshmallow treats jumped out at me.
What I love most about this recipe is that, in the book, Lauren describes her mother always saving birthday’s by being able to make treats at the drop of a hat, and how this recipe is great for any impromptu party or celebration where a cake just won’t do, it totally pulled at my heart strings, and my desire to make a delicious treats, fast!
What ingredients do you need for champagne rice krispie treats?
- Butter
- Champagne
- Vanilla
- Marshmallows
- Crisped rice cereal
The biggest difference in this recipe and your standard rice krispie treat recipe is the champagne obviously! To make these treats extra celebratory, you are basically creating a champagne butter (um, how good does that sound!?).
If you need a few more great ideas for New Year’s snacks to make, try this super simple brie or these white chocolate peanut grape bites that we make every year.
