This dessert is a combination between homemade macarons and Rice Krispie squares. Created by the blog Southern Fatty, the recipe for Rice Krispies Treat Macarons is a nostalgic take on the delicate French confection. Described as rustic and absolutely delicious, the bite-sized snacks don't require the same amount of fussiness to make compared to your more traditional macaron.
The homemade macarons feature a marshmallow buttercream middle made out of the roughly crushed cereal, vanilla bean extract, powdered sugar, marshmallow fluff and unsalted butter. The shell calls for ingredients such as Rice Krispies cereal, pure vanilla extract, egg whites, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, cream of tartar and almond flour. The resulting texture is certainly a winner.
