Maple Butter Pecan Rice Krispie Treats are the be all end of all of rice krispie treats.  They have so much fall flavor in them, you can almost smell the leaves in the air.

This recipe and the giveaway included in this post is sponsored by Millican Pecan. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting the brands that make A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures possible.

These Maple Butter Pecan Rice Krispy Treats were a total last minute addition/change from another recipe. I made them on a whim and thought, “These are damned good! I have to share these with the world.’ Heck, even the hubs devoured them. That’s gotta say something, right?

So, the hubs works at Walmart in Asset Protection. He’s really good at it, too. He hasn’t worked there a year and he’s already the trainer for his market. THE trainer for his market. Like, everyone new to Walmart in Asset Protection has to go his store and learn how to do their job from him. It’s funny because some of them come to his store and say, “My manager just sits in the office watching the cameras all day!” How are you supposed to apprehend people?

Anyway, I could go on and on about that, but that’s not my point for bringing it up. He was telling me that our Walmart was starting the online grocery shopping. I was using the Harris Teeter version for the longest time. I had the same apprehensions that most do. And typically, lettuce is the biggest disappointment. No one really knows how to pick a head of lettuce like I do.

Other than that, I enjoy the online shopping. Not because I’m lazy like some say or because I don’t have any time like others. I use the online grocery shopping because it keeps me honest. It forces me to stick to my grocery list. When I’m in the store I toss things in the cart that I don’t need but think I’ll make something with at some point in the near-ish future. Bottom line it saves me money and prevents a good chunk of food waste at the house. Except sometimes I see an impulse item on their featured page.

This impulse item is maple mini marshmallows.

Oh yeah. You went there, right? I thought, “Those would make some killer treats!” And I was right. But as I sat there thinking about making those treats over the weekend, I thought, “You know what would make them even better? If I added some Millican Pecan pecans!” Then I thought about it a little more and decided to do a butter pecan type of flavor. That meant I needed to get some butter flavoring.

You guys, these Maple Butter Pecan Rice Krispy Treats are the be all end all of rice krispy treats. And I’m not kidding. They’re so good, I made them twice and will probably make them a few more times because they are THAT good. I need to share them with everyone. But the hubs might argue with me on that. He might insist that they all stay in the house and I don’t get to take any to work.

That just means I have to make a double batch so I can take some to work. Which is super easy to do since they only take a few minutes to make. And they really only require one bowl. Yeah, I see that perplexed look one your face.

You can make these in the microwave in under 5 minutes.

I’m not kidding. It takes less than 2 to melt the butter, marshmallows, and butter flavoring together. Then it takes just a few more minutes to stir in all the rice krispies and pecans. Then it’s just a matter of pressing them into a pan and waiting until they’re all cooled and ready to eat. I’m not kidding when I say these are finished in 5 minutes. And probably ready to eat in about 10 if you’re impatient like I am. But then, I get to eat the left-over rice krispies off the spatula.

I love the added crunch and flavor the Millican pecans give to these treats. I don’t think I’ve had fresh pecans before. Ever. Even with all our trips through Georgia and other parts of the south where they’re grown. We always aimed for Vidalia onions on those trips. But I’ve got to tell you they are totally different than the bags you can buy in the store.

These pecans are super tender and sweet. They have a maple flavor that really plays off the maple marshmallows. They’re buttery which enhances the butter flavoring in these maple butter pecan rice krispie treats. Yes, I know. It’s a mouthful to say, but it’s such a delicious and crispy mouthful!

So, as you can see, it’s not all bad grocery shopping online. It actually has enlightened me to a few products I didn’t know about if I didn’t have to search for them online. Like my mousse. I couldn’t find the one I typically used, but I found one I like even better. These marshmallows! I don’t typically look at marshmallows, but they caught my eye on their featured page. And the chuck roast that I bought on sale for delicious French dip sandwiches last night for dinner.

I’ll have to make those French dips again and share them with y’all.
