The rice krispies in this recipe get soggy and give the final product a mushy consistency. The chocolate flavor is awesome but the texture is nasty; like chewing on styrofoam. Perhaps adding more rice krispies would help.

I was very disappointed, made these for a bake sale that I now have nothing for. The taste was good but the consistancy was not, once the candy bars were melted there was really nothing gooey to hold everything together aside from the chocolate on top, but after melting with butter even that didn't help.

These were tasty but too rich for me. My family didn't dive into them either. I still prefer the original rice krispy treat.

CRAZY good. Made these in Finland for my girlfriend and her family, they flipped. No Milky Way bars here, but as another (Canadian) foreigner suggested, use Mars bars. You'll need 5 instead of the 4 called for. Thanks again for the recipe!

A great change to rice crispy treats! Makes it easy to change to make it your own alwo. I modified the recipe to include regular rice crispy treats as a layered dessert. (I've posted the changes as a separate recipe)

These are truly AMAZING!!! The chocolate/butter mixture that is poured over them melts in your mouth and the milky way flavor is like no other! I find that I can add more rice krispies to the melted milky way mixture and there will still be enough of it to coat all the cereal. DELICIOUS!!!!!

WOW! This cookie is delicious and easy to make! I kept them in the fridge but let them come close to room temperature before serving so they were nice and chewy! A new favorite here!

These are fantastic...and SO easy! My variation was to mix in lightly salted, dry-roasted peanuts and some semi-sweet chocolate chips with the cereal and Milky Way, then to PRESS some more chocolate chips into the treat when in the pan. I also used a square baking pan because I like mine thicker. It looks like I'll have to double the recipe next time because we all wanted more! This really is better than any other rice krispy recipe I've ever made and so much easier (and with much less fuss). Thanks Cheryl.

I made these last night and they are excellent! Very rich, but very yummy. I will definitely be making these again and taking them to potlucks in the future!

WOW! A nice variation of the rice krispie treat. Milky Way bars are VERY hard to find here in Canada (especially in a small east coast town). With a little help from my sister (who lives in the US) we discovered that Mars Bars are the equivalent to the US Milky Way bars. You need to use "king size" Mars Bars or 6 of the regular size. Happy baking! You'll be sure to love this one!

WOW! These were so good. I used less butter because of what previous reviewers said and it turned out perfect. My husband loved them! He didn't want me to take them to work because he wanted to eat them! Thank you so much for this recipe, a great alternative to an ordinary rice krispie bar.

These are very sweet and chocolatey. I can see why a person would bring them to a potluck because they carry well. I still like marshmallow treats better so I'm giving these an average rating.

It sounded good so I decided to make it for a christmas party rather than the standard rice crispy treats. The flavor was good but the texture wasn't. Nobody really ate any of them.

These were delicious even though I left out 2 tablespoons of the butter and didn't put on the topping. I just sprinkled the milk chocolate chips on top. My only complaint is that the bars seemed greasy even without the full amount of butter. The bars were still delicious and my family devoured them the first night. Thanks for an interesting variation of Rice Krispie treats.

This was a big hit at the office. Very easy to make. I read the other reviews and made it with Baby Ruth Candy bars as well. It didn't make very much though. I'll definately double the recipe next time. Yumm!

These are so easy to make. I added a cup of salted peanuts and they were really good. I left off the melted chocolate chips because they were already pretty chocolatey. YUMMY!
