Ingredients

  • 6 1/2 cups rice krispies cereal
  • 2 cups Kettle Brand Sea Salt Kettle Chips, crushed to smaller pieces*
  • 1 1/2 cups broken pretzel sticks (break into pieces about 1/2-inch)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 (16 oz) bag large or mini marshmallows
  • 12 oz. milk chocolate chips or chocolate melts
  • Multi-color sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  • Add rice krispies cereal, kettle chips and pretzels to a large mixing bowl and set aside. Spray a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray, set aside.
  • Melt butter in a non-stick pot over medium-low heat. Add marshmallows and cook and stir constantly until marshmallows have melted.
  • Remove from heat. Pour rice krispies cereal mixture into marshmallow mixture and gently stir and toss with a spatula to evenly coat. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. 
  • Spray a spatula with non-stick cooking spray. Spread and gently press mixture into an even layer in pan using spatula.
  • Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl on 50% power in 30 second intervals, stirring between intervals until melted and smooth. 
  • Pour and spread chocolate evenly over rice krispie treats. Sprinkle evenly with sprinkles if desired. 
  • Let chocolate set in refrigerator, then return to room temperature to rest (so the treats aren't cold). Cut into squares and store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • *Sometimes the Kettle Chips are larger than others so if they seem larger you can measure out an extra cup because the bigger ones will measure differently - you should get about 1 cup crushed chips. They don't need to be crushed too small, just enough that they are small pieces.
