These White Chocolate Dipped M&M’s® Crispy Rice Krispies Treats are a 90s kid’s dream. The classic rice krispies treats are topped with M&M’s® Crispy candy and dipped in white chocolate for a perfect finish!
I was born with just 11 days left in the 80s. I think my mom wanted to give me some prep time before entering the decade that brought us Lisa Frank, Boy Meets World, Tamagotchi, and of course M&M’s® Crispy.
I’m a 90s kid through and through. My Beanie Babies collection was a little out of hand. I dreamed that one day my parents would sit me down and tell me I was a “pre-teen” witch, I even named my black cat Salem Saberhagen (Saber for short) in hopes that it would come true. I always had a bazillion scrunchies on my arm and Truly Madly Deeply was the ultimate radio dedication song.
With all the amazing things the new millennium has brought us, it also left a few of our favorites behind. Mix Tapes, Sonic, and jelly shoes; you get what I’m saying and I know you miss them too. Luckily, companies are starting to listen to the demands of all these grown up 90s kids! We want some of that awesomeness back PRONTO!
Recently, dreams have started coming true. This year we’ll see the return of Jurassic Park, we’ll keep praying for that *NSYNC reunion, and we’ll be able to snack on our long lost M&M’s® Crispy candy. The M&M’s® Crispy was an essential part of life before Y2K. With a texture reminiscent of a malt ball and then that classic M&M’s® candy coating, a bag of these was a must when watching TGIF.
I was so psyched to find a bag of the M&M’s® Crispy at Walmart a couple of weeks ago and after enjoying several servings (of which is only 180 calories!) straight from the bag, I decided to mix them in with another treat from my days in the 90s. Rice Krispies Treats!
I spent almost every day after school at my Nana’s and every now and then she’d make my brother and I rice krispie treats. They were the best! But there’s a trick to getting the perfect batch, you’ve got to DOUBLE the butter!
I’ve been in a nostalgic mood lately, so the pairing was perfect for a night of cuddling up on the couch and watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! (Yes, being a vampire slaying instead of a teenage witch would have been cool too!) I decided to go one step further though and dip them in white chocolate, because extra chocolate never hurt anyone and I thought you’d all appreciate a little extra pizzazz!
These White Chocolate Dipped M&M’s Crispy Rice Krispies Treats really are THE BOMB, if you don’t agree then you can “talk to the hand”, capeesh?
What’s the one thing you miss most about the 90s?

So do we use 6 tablespoona of butter or 12

Doubling the butter is key! I hope they came out fab and you both enjoyed them! Happy Easter!

Totally bizzare that I bought all the stuff to my make Hubbie Rice Krispie Treats for Easter! I haven’t made them in y-e-a-r-s! And double the butter?! I can not WAIT to try this today! And I know exactly what you mean about those Crispy M&M’s. Bought the big 37 oz. bag at Sam’s for $8.00. They’re might be one or two left to top the Rice Krispie Treats Ü
Thanks for the recipe and Happy Easter!
Rebecca says
I would die. I wanted to see them so bad and never got the chance!

Love this, and the trip down memory lane was great too! My blonde sweet girl recently spied them and remembers one of my childhood stories with these M&Ms in it! I would love for you to share this over at my new link party Making Memories Mondays going on now!

Isn’t it crazy how a candy, smell, show, or outfit can bring back so many great nostalgic memories! I’m not exactly a child of the 90s, but this post brought back some fun memories for me too! Really glad the M&M’s® Crispy is one of those things that is back! #client
