Nutella Rice Krispie Treats with Orange Recipe
You’ve got to try these Nutella Rice Krispie Treats with Orange! They have the best chocolate-orange flavor. A quick and easy dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 Orange to yield 2 teaspoons zest, plus extra for garnish if desired
- 3 tablespoons Salted Butter
- 10 ounces Marshmallows
- 1/2 teaspoon Orange Extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies
- 13 ounces Nutella
Instructions
- Rinse and dry your orange and zest it. Set the zest aside and save the orange for another use. Grease a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
- In a large pot, melt your butter on the stove over medium-low heat.
- Add your marshmallows to the pot and stir constantly until they are fully melted. This could take at least five minutes. Turn off the heat and move the pot to a cool burner.
- Stir in your zest and orange extract until combined. Add your Rice Krispies to the pot and stir until fully blended with the marshmallow mixture.
- Carefully transfer your cereal mixture to your pan. It helps to grease a silicone spatula with cooking spray and then spread the mixture evenly in your pan. Use your hands to gently press the cereal into place.
- When the cereal mixture is cooled off a bit, spread on your Nutella in an even layer. Garnish with extra orange zest, if desired.
- Cut into squares and serve. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to five days.
Notes
- The orange extract adds a nice pop of flavor. You can take it down to 1/4 teaspoon, if you prefer it more subtle. And, if you don’t have the extract, the Nutella Rice Krispie treats will still be delicious.
- A 13-ounce jar of Nutella is just enough to thinly frost a 9x13 pan of these treats. I probably used 19 ounces when I made these for the photos. Use as much as Nutella as you’d like, but they’ll obviously be sweeter (and messier) with more.
