Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup coffee creamer (French vanilla flavor)
48 jumbo marshmallows
1 teaspoon coffee extract
6 cups crispy rice cereal
1 cup confectioners sugar
3 tablespoons coffee creamer (French vanilla flavor)
Caramel sauce for drizzling
Cooking spray as needed
Directions
Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, allowing the edges to extend beyond the sides for easy removal later. Lightly coat the foil with cooking spray and wipe away any excess with a paper towel.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the ¼ cup of French vanilla coffee creamer until well combined.
Add all 48 marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the coffee extract. Gently fold the crispy rice cereal into the marshmallow mixture until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it gently and evenly into a single layer using a lightly greased spatula or your hands.
Prepare the glaze by whisking together the confectioners sugar and 3 tablespoons of French vanilla coffee creamer until smooth. Spread the glaze evenly over the surface of the treats.
Allow the treats to set at room temperature until the glaze is firm, about 10 minutes.
Using the foil overhang, lift the entire block of treats out of the baking dish. Cut into 9 equal squares.
Drizzle caramel sauce over each square and serve.
Comments
This is a straightforward riff on Rice Krispie Treats with coffee and caramel flavoring, and every ingredient is available at any major Charlotte chain. The 15-minute time is honest for a no-bake assembly—melt butter and marshmallows, stir in cereal and coffee extract, press into a pan, drizzle with caramel. Cost per serving runs roughly $0.75 to $1.00, driven mainly by the marshmallows and butter; caramel sauce and coffee extract add little to the total. The treats are stiff when cooled and travel well, making them a solid lunchbox or office option rather than a fussy dessert. Budget to have butter softened and caramel sauce on hand, but this is a weeknight win for anyone craving coffee flavor without a second shopping stop.
