<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nAre you on team salty or team sweet? I have a serious sweet tooth but crave salty snacks occasionally too. Having a treat that combines both salty and sweet is perfection in my book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We've shared recipes to make Maple Bacon Crispy Treats<\/a>, Cashew Rice Krispie Treats<\/a>, and Pistachio Rice Crispy Treats<\/a> which all combine salty and sweet ingredients but none of them have quite the contrast of flavors as these potato chip crispy treats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They are packed with potato chips and really pack a salty punch. I used an entire 7.8-ounce bag of wavy chips in this recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n I also used Salted Butter which we suggest when making any of our Rice Krispie Treats recipes<\/a>. If you like even saltier snacks, you may even want to sprinkle some flaked salt over your pan of treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you ready to make some potato chip treats? Let's get to the recipe. You can scroll to the bottom of the post for a printable recipe or read our step-by-step instructions for more tips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by greasing a large mixing bowl, your spatula or spoon, and a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter (preferable) or non-stick baking spray. I like to use butter so the exterior of my treats tastes buttery not like baking spray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Break andy of the large potato chips into smaller pieces. Reserve \u00bd cup for the top of your treats. Then combine 3 cups of Rice Krispies Cereal with the remaining potato chips (from a 7.8-ounce bag of chips) in your greased mixing bowl. Set aside. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Set a medium-large saucepan on the stove over LOW heat (using low heat is very important so you don't overheat your marshmallows). Add 6 tablespoons of butter that is cut into small pieces or slices. Allow the butter to begin melting. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Pour in one 16-ounce bag of marshmallows. I like to use mini marshmallows because they melt easily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Toss the marshmallows with the melted butter and allow them to begin to melt, stirring occasionally. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Once about 75% of the marshmallows have melted (this may take 6-9 minutes), you want to remove the pan from the heat. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n This will keep the marshmallows from overheating. If the marshmallows get too hot and crystalize, they will make hard treats that are difficult to eat. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Off heat, stir until all of the marshmallows have melted and are creamy and smooth. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Then, pour the melted marshmallows over your bowl of Rice Krispies and potato chips. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n If you use a non-stick saucepan, scraping all of the marshmallows out of your pan will be a breeze. If you use a stainless steel pan, you might want to grease the inside of the pan with butter or baking spray so that the marshmallows don't stick. <\/p>\n\n\n If you prefer, melt your butter and marshmallows using the microwave. Combine the two ingredients in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high power for 1 minute. Then, let the bowl rest in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. This will give the marshmallows time to melt slowly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir until all the marshmallows have melted. If needed, you can heat the ingredients for an additional 10-15 seconds and then stir until melted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When melting them in the microwave, it's best to use regular (large) marshmallows (instead of minis). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gently fold the marshmallow mixture into the cereal and chips until everything is well coated. The potato chips will break into smaller pieces as you mix, but try not to crush them into fine pieces. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Spread the mixture into your greased 9x13-inch baking pan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Immediately, while the marshmallows are still sticky, press the reserved potato chips over the top of the treats. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n These treats taste great on their own but you can add these other ingredients if you'd like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you'd like, you can skip using the Rice Krispie Treat cereal in this recipe and use a 12-ounce bag of potato chips instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Store your potato chip treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Or, place them in a zip-top bag and freeze them for up to 3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you enjoy making these Rice Krispie Treats made with potato chips, you might also like these other delicious Rice Krispies Treat recipes<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Browning butter to make your treats gives them a nice nutty flavor.

Swap in some potato chips if you like. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Swapping out some potato chips for Rice Krispies in these Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats<\/a> would add a nice salty flavor to this snack. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"potato](\"https:\/\/howtomakecerealtreats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/potato-chip-rice-krispie-treats-recipe-ingredients.jpg\")
