These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Rice Krispie Treats are filled with chocolate chip cookie dough truffles for a great twist on a classic.
Yeah, I know, Rice Krispie Treats again…but come on, look at them, how could I not?
Plus I am addressing the “I never have time to cook”.
Which I call BS on.
I think if you like to do anything; you will find time for it.
Why not just say I don’t really like to do that. I don’t like to run, I just tell people, I don’t like to run.
I don’t say I don’t have time to run.
And my friends who all say they never have time seem to be the people who love to scrapbook.
Which fine, scrapbook away.
But that takes time, a lot of time, and money.
And well, no offense to scrapbookers of the world, but people would rather eat cookies than sit on your couch and thumb through your family vacation to the Grand Canyon complete with matching stickers.
Scrapbooking and photo albums is today’s version of slide shows from when I was a kid.
And most people are too polite enough (funny that can be polite then, no other times) and suffer through them.
These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Rice Krispie Treats didn’t take much time.
Even with making the cookie dough truffles, these took me 30 minutes to make (if you don’t count the 30 minutes I let them set up).
I did laundry while waiting for the truffles to set up.
You could be doing whatever household thing you need to do.
For those wondering, I use the truffles because number one they keep their shape better than regular cookie dough, and number two, no eggs.
People get picky about the egg thing.
You will want to cut these small, as these are filled with the cookie dough pieces.
Last but not least…it’s a great time to order my cookbook. 😀

haha, i don’t know many scrapbookers but the people I do know who complain, “I never have time to cook” are the ones who spend all night in the front of the TV. I quote Nigella Lawson “it’s not like they’re writing War & Peace in their spare time”.

These look so good! I always forget to make rice krispies treats as I rarely eat that kind of cereal…
Cheers,

Lauren at Keep It Sweet says
Now this is an amazing idea!!! Cookie dough takes desserts to the next level!
Rachael says
My problem is not that I don’t have the time to cook – it’s that I don’t have the time to clean the kitchen and do the dishes after I make a huge mess…while cooking.
Laura says
I want one of these right now! An amazing combination that I will definitely make for a BBQ late spring. I feel like rice krispie treats are a perfect outdoor treat!
Joanne says
As if rice krispies treats could get any better! Oh cookie dough, how I love thee…
That’s kind of how I feel about my med school classmates who say they don’t have time to cook. Well…I have time to cook and run and photograph what I cook…so I think they probably have time to do at least one of the three! But no judgment…it’s all a matter of prioritization! To each his own.

I hate the whole “I don’t have time to cook” excuse. I don’t make a huge fancy meal every night, but it takes much less time to cook a piece of salmon and throw together a salad than it takes to wait for greasy takeout.
I love this variation on rice krispie treats! Cookie dough type treats are one of my favorites!
Mary says
I just made these, and you’re right. Definitely eating air, negative calories. It’s not even real cookie dough.
Hannah@ Bake Five says
well bring on the rice krispies. there’s never enough of it. (:
Erin says
These have got to be lethal!
Melissa says
What a genius idea! These look fantastic 🙂
Cara says
How dare you… make a rice krispie treat that could potentially dethrone my favorite?! (which is a family recipe with butterscotch, peanut butter, and a layer of fudge in the middle!) Is it possible to make room in my heart (stomach?) for two best ever rice krispie treats?
Lisa @ The Cooking Bride says
I don’t usually get excited about Rice Crispy Treats, but these look dang good!
Deborah says
These look amazing!! I’ll always take time to make something like this 🙂
Lisa says
These look amazing! Great photography, by the way. I live in Japan and don’t know if I can find malted milk… are we talking liquid here or powder? Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?
Peabody says
Malted milk is a powder. Not really a substitute for it though.
