Chewy rice krispie treats topped with silky caramel and toasted marshmallows. A childhood treat dressed up. Now listen, we’re starting off this week with every little bit of indulgence we can possibly manage with this rice krispie treats recipe because 1) Mondays and 2) I messed up a teensy little bit.

Chewy rice krispie treats topped with silky caramel and toasted marshmallows. A childhood treat dressed up. I have had this idea for an incredible Greek salad for the longest time. I knew exactly what would go in it, which props I would use, how we would photograph it. Everything. The recipe worked perfectly, the photos were absolutely stunning and I was eager to upload it all today. Then while editing the images, I realised something was missing. If it was a small detail, it wouldn’t be a big deal but you guys. I left out… THE OLIVES! The freakin olives in a GREEK SALAD. *face palm* I tried to work around it. “Just say you forgot to add them.” “Maybe no-one will notice” (yeah right). But it all came down to me wanting to bang my head on the table repeating “Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!” I mean, luckily I always have a few blog posts in the pipeline so I can share this amazing recipe with you today but still. Come on! Rest assured, that recipe will be re-shot and will be coming your way later this week.

So back to these bad boys. And yes, they are a little bad. Because not only did I make rice krispie treats that are already quite sinful, I topped them with a rather generous (read: boat load) of caramelised condensed milk (or dulce de leche/caramel treat) and then topped that off with a hefty sprinkle of mini marshmallows. A quick toast under the grill and we were golden. I mean, would you just look at them. Look at that drippy caramel. And the toasty marshmallows. And that pretty pink rice krispie treat. Just look!

Full disclaimer: These are incredibly sticky, a little messy and oh-so-worth it. Have a few napkins handy when you’re eating these. Also, I halved these bars when I was done shooting because these are rich, sweet little bombs of decadence and they should be served in small doses. Except if you are my kids in which case you will shove as many as you can down your throat before mom sees and shouts at you. Oh, the joys!

    These look scrumptious! I’m sorry to hear about the missing olives in your Greek salad, but I agree they are a must! By coincidence I just posted a recipe for Greek salad yesterday, but mine includes grilled chicken, which of course is not authentically Greek!

      I’ll pop over to have a look at yours! The addition of grilled chicken just makes it a full meal, that’s all! 😉
