This Rice Krispie Treat Fudge is white chocolate fudge with Rice Krispie Treat flavoring, Rice Krispie cereal, and Rice Krispie Treats.
Monday I sold my wedding rings.
No, no…not from my husband now.
My engagement ring now is actually my mom’s diamond because that’s what I wanted this time around.
She’s allergic to metal and can’t wear any jewelry so that was an option for me.
I sold my wedding rings from when the Picky Eater and I were together.
They were beautiful rings from Tiffany and Co.
And they were worth quite a bit when purchased.
Not so much for resale.
Because of the fact the Picky Eater and I remained friends I had no big rush to sell them.
I didn’t look at them in anger or disgust.
Add to not getting close to the value they were purchased for I held on to them.
But then our dog Holly went to the ER…and well that was a costly trip.
That slowed progress on a financial goal I had and so I decided I would sell them.
Reality is that if I’m going to keep taking in senior and/or special needs dogs (which I am) then well…I can’t have nice things. 🙂
And that’s okay.
I’m not trying to impress anyone.
Dogs are better than jewelry any day of the week.
They sparkle in their own way.
So holiday season is in full swing…at least in blogging world.
Which means I am making more fudge.
And since I like to make unique flavors I decided…while eating a Rice Krispie Treat to make it as a fudge flavor.
There is a place called Wizard Labs.
They make tons of unique flavorings. I go kind of crazy every time I order from there.
And they have a Rice Cereal Treat Flavor.
You can make this fudge without the flavoring but reality is…it is better with it than without it if you want more of that Rice Krispie Treat flavor.
This fudge also, because of the Rice Krispies in it, does not cut as well as other fudges.
That’s okay.
This fudge is also on the sweeter side because well…it’s Rice Krispie Treat Fudge. 🙂
P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!

Rice Krispie Treat Fudge
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 oz. unsalted butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp. vanilla bean paste (or extract)
- 3 drops of Rice Cereal Treat Flavoring
- 7-ounce jar marshmallow crème
- ½ cup Rice Krispie cereal
- Rice Krispie Treats, chopped, used as garnish
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment with an overhang so you can lift the fudge out later and coat with baking spray.
- Combine sugar, butter, and heavy cream into a large heavy bottomed sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, attach a candy thermometer and reduce the heat to a hair above medium low and cook for 7-10 minutes until your thermometer reads 234°F (soft ball stage) , stirring constantly.
- Once you reach 234F remove from heat and add the white chocolate chips, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the vanilla bean paste, rice cereal flavoring and marshmallow crème and mix until well blended.
- Fold in Rice Krispie cereal.
- Pour into prepared pan.
- Top with chopped up Rice Krispie Treat pieces.
- Let cool to room temperature. Then lift out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Cut into whatever amount you want. I think I got about 32 pieces.

Ahh, I hope everything will be alright soon! I know exactly what you mean – money can’t buy happiness, but having pets is pretty damn close. Jewellery can’t beat the company and friendship our furry friends provide, right?! Now as to why I actually came here: that white chocolate fudge deliciousness. I want a piece of that right now! Hope you have a great day 🙂

My mom gave me my wedding ring made up of some of her old diamonds and my husband wears his dad’s old ring. They work JUST fine. And, dogs and cat love is sooo much better than just about anything 🙂

Puppies are much better than things, no doubt. There’s nothing like their love.
On a separate note, thank you for turning me on to Wizard labs. I’m over there freaking out over all their flavors. They have taro!!!!!!
Peabody says
@Annie- Wizard Lab is beyond addictive! I have so many of their flavors. And the small size works just fine. So at $1.50 for most of them I tend to go crazy. 🙂
Miranda says
Rice krispie treats and fudge sounds like the perfect combination of desserts! I would have never thought of combining them before!

Hi,
Will this recipe work without the marshmallow creme? Or can you recommend a substitute please.
Many thanks,
Joanna
Peabody says
7 oz Marshmallow Creme = approximately 1-1/2 cups marshmallows
Joanna Chittenden says
Thank you! It turned out really well x
Peabody says
Glad to hear that!
