Neapolitan is just one of those things that screams childhood. It’s the messy ice cream that melts down your hand from your ice cream cone in the heat of summer. But neapolitan deserved more, it deserved better. So why not take it up a notch? This week I made Neapolitan Rice Krispie Treats. They won’t melt and yet still have the yummy chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flavor.
Plus they’re cute! Who doesn’t like that?
Honestly these Neapolitan Rice Crispy treats really do taste like the same old ice cream flavor we all love and adore.
They’re easy to make too. You can whip them up quickly before a party or right before your kids get done with school for the day. It’s a win win situation.
I’m including the recipe down below but here’s a little hint of how they’re made:
There’s chocolate, vanilla and strawberry layer by layer.
A helpful note – make sure all your bowls and utensils are well coated with butter before starting to make your clean up easier.
Also I just used one stick of butter cut into 2 tsp. pieces. One piece was used for each layer with the final piece being used to coat my spatula, pan, bowls and wax paper to make for easy clean up.
You start with the strawberry layer
To make the Strawberry layer:
- 3 cups of Rice Krispies
- 3 tsp. of Strawberry Jello (just the dry powder)
- 2 tsp. of butter
- 1/5 bag of mini marshmallows (about 3.5 cups)
- 3 cups Rice Krispies
- 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
- 2 tsp. butter
- 1/5 bag of mini marshmallows
To make the chocolate layer use:
- 3 cups of Cocoa Krispies
- 1/2 a bag of mini marshmallows (about 3.5 cups)
- 2 tsps of butter
Oh my! Those look awesome! YUM!!
I’m in a pinch so I’m going for the middle layer only. I will have to try all 3 layers when I’m not! Super excited.
