Ingredients
Treats
- 11 pieces Bacon
- 10 ounces marshmallows
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 tablespoon maple extract
- 5 cups Rice Krispies
Frosting
- 4 tablespoons butter room temperature
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 teaspoon milk
Instructions
Treats
- Cook 11 pieces of bacon until crispy. Place on a paper towel lined plate. Set aside. It's ideal to make this ahead of time even.
- Spray a 11x7 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. I don't think it's necessary about I did it to make sure my treats came out without a fight.
- In a large saucepan, add in the marshmallows and butter. Place over medium heat and let it melt together.
- Chop the crispy bacon into tiny pieces. Set aside 1 T. of the crumbled bacon for garnish.
- Once the marshmallows and butter are completely melted and gooey, add in the maple extract. Stir until combined.
- Add in the rice krispies and the crumbled bacon that isn't reserved for garnish. Stir to cover the krispies thoroughly.
- Pour the rice krispies into the prepared 11x7 pan. Using a piece of wax paper or parchment paper, press the krispies down into the pan. I don't press down super hard since I like my treats less hard and more chewy. Let cool in pan.

Frosting
- In a mixing bowl, add in the butter, maple extract, powdered sugar and milk. Mix on low until incorporated.
- Turn the mixer on high and beat an additional minute or two until light and fluffy.
- Spread the frosting onto the cooled rice krispies treats. If they're the least bit warm, your frosting will become a gooey mess so be patient!
- Sprinkle the reserved tablespoon of bacon on top of the treats. Cut and serve!
Notes
- To store any leftover maple bacon rice krispie treats, place in an air tight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
