Whether you’re baking for friends, kids, or just yourself (no judgment here), these are hands-down one of the most addictive Biscoff Recipes you’ll ever make.
The Story Behind This Recipe
Confession time: I’m a little obsessed with Rice Crispy Treats. I spent way too many weekends tinkering with marshmallow-to-cereal ratios to find the perfect chewy-but-not-sticky balance. After testing (and eating) about 20 versions — tough job, I know — I finally cracked the code.
And then I had a thought: “What if I took that perfect base and gave it a speculoos glow-up?” Enter: Biscoff Cookie Butter. A swirl of this golden, spiced spread turned an already-perfect treat into something completely drool-worthy.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what makes these Baking Sweets so darn good:
- Butter: Go for salted butter if you can — it keeps the sweetness in check and adds flavor depth.
- Biscoff Cookie Butter: The star of the show. Half a cup is just enough to flavor the whole batch without making them too soft.
- Marshmallows: Mini marshmallows melt faster and give you that gooey, glossy texture we all love.
- Rice Krispies Cereal: Kellogg’s classic is my go-to, but any crispy rice cereal works.
- Biscoff Cookies: Crumbled into the mix and sprinkled on top for extra crunch and spice.
How to Make Gooey Biscoff Rice Krispie Treats
Let’s keep it simple — because honestly, these Yummy Sweets should be fun, not stressful:
- Melt the Magic: In a saucepan, melt butter and Biscoff cookie butter together over low heat. Stir until smooth and fragrant.
- Add Marshmallows: Toss in your marshmallows and stir until mostly melted. (Pro tip: pull the pan off the heat when 75% are melted and stir until the rest catch up — this keeps them soft and silky.)
- Mix It Up: Butter a big mixing bowl and add your cereal + cookie chunks. Pour the gooey mixture over and stir until everything is coated.
- Press & Sprinkle: Press into a greased 8×8 or 9×9 pan (don’t squish too hard, you want them chewy). Sprinkle more cookie crumbs on top.
- Cool & Slice: Let them sit for about an hour… or, if you have zero chill like me, cut into them while they’re still warm and gooey.
Pro Tips for the Best Results
- Butter Everything: Your pan, your spatula, even your hands if needed. It keeps the mixture from sticking and makes life easier.
- Low & Slow: Melt your butter and marshmallows on low heat. High heat can make them hard instead of gooey.
- Cereal Ratio Matters: The sweet spot here is 5 cups cereal to 10 ounces marshmallows. Too much cereal = dry bars. Too little cereal = sticky mess.
Fun Variations to Try
Want to level these Cereal Treats up even more? Try one of these twists:
- Drizzle with White Chocolate: Adds a fancy touch and extra sweetness.
- Mix in Chocolate Chips: For a cookie-butter-meets-chocolate-chip-cookie vibe.
- Make Them Holiday-Themed: Add festive sprinkles or colored candy melts for Christmas, Halloween, or birthdays.
How to Serve These Sweet Squares
These treats are perfect for literally any occasion:
- School lunches (your kid will be the cool kid at the table).
- Dessert platters alongside brownies and cookies.
- Weeknight snack when you want something fast but special.
And since they’re a no-bake treat, they’re also one of my favorite Easy Summer Desserts when it’s too hot to turn on the oven.
Storage & Leftovers
If you actually have leftovers (lol), here’s how to keep them fresh:
- Room Temp: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freezer-Friendly: Wrap in wax paper, pop into a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 3 months. Just thaw at room temp before eating.
FAQs
Can I make these in the microwave?
Yes! Combine the butter, cookie butter, and marshmallows in a large bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir until melted, then proceed with the recipe.
Do I have to use Biscoff brand?
Nope! Any speculoos cookie butter works. Trader Joe’s makes a great one, too.
What’s the trick to gooey but not sticky treats?
Don’t overcook the marshmallows and stick to the cereal-to-marshmallow ratio above. Too much heat = tough bars.

Description
Get ready to take your favorite Rice Krispie Treats to the next level! These bars are loaded with creamy Biscoff cookie butter and crunchy cookie bits, giving you that warm, spiced flavor in every bite. They’re gooey, chewy, and dangerously addictive.
Ingredients
- 5 cups crispy rice cereal
- 7 Biscoff cookies (6 for mixing, 1 for topping)
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prep the Pan & Bowl
- Lightly butter or spray an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish. Grease a large mixing bowl as well (this keeps the goo from sticking later!).
- Mix the Dry Ingredients
- Add the rice cereal to the greased bowl. Break 6 of the Biscoff cookies into small pieces and stir them into the cereal.
- Melt the Goodness
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and Biscoff cookie butter together until smooth. Add marshmallows and stir gently until about three-quarters of them are melted. Remove from heat and keep stirring until completely melted and silky.
- Microwave Option: Combine butter, cookie butter, and marshmallows in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 1–1½ minutes, stir until smooth, and continue with the next step.
- Combine & Coat
- Pour the melted mixture over the cereal and cookies. Stir quickly and evenly until every piece is coated in that gooey marshmallow goodness.
- Press & Top
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan. Press gently with a buttered spatula (don’t smash too hard or they’ll be too dense). Crush the last cookie into crumbs and sprinkle over the top. Lightly press to make sure they stick.
- Cool & Slice
- Let the bars set for at least 30 minutes before cutting them into 16 squares.
Notes
- Store these treats in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay chewy and fresh for about 5 days — if they last that long!
- Want a cleaner slice? Butter your knife or use a sharp serrated knife to cut through the marshmallow layer with ease.
