Can we have a party?
No, seriously — we should throw a party. These tiny shakes are the perfect excuse.
They’re basically miniature vanilla marshmallow milkshakes, spiked and blended with actual Rice Krispie treats. The treats add that irresistible chewy, slightly crunchy texture that makes this shake special. You could add just the cereal, but the marshmallow-bound treats hold up better and give you something to crumble on top.
If you follow my Instagram, you might have seen that I once had a shake like this for lunch. Rice Krispie treats are one of my guilty pleasures — the classic homemade kind, not the foil-wrapped prepackaged versions. Those boxed treats never quite matched the real thing made from gooey melted marshmallows and butter.
The texture is everything. Those soft, squishy squares were a staple of my childhood. Pair them with a thick, creamy shake and a fat straw, and you’ve got the ultimate nostalgic dessert cocktail.
These come in fun shooter-sized portions, which is great for parties or game day — small servings let everyone sample one while leaving room for other snacks. Of course you can scale the recipe up to make a couple of large milkshakes for yourself, but the mini versions are irresistible when sharing.
Spiked Rice Krispie Treat Shake Shooters
12
double shooters or 2 full milkshakes
25 mins
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups rice cereal
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vodka (or marshmallow-flavored vodka)
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/3 cup marshmallow fluff
Instructions
-
To make the Rice Krispie treats: melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat, whisking until it sizzles and small brown bits form, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add the marshmallows and stir until fully melted. Stir in the vanilla. Remove from heat, fold in the rice cereal until combined, then press into an 8×8 baking dish. Let rest for 15 minutes.
-
To make the milkshakes: combine the milk, vodka, vanilla ice cream and marshmallow fluff in a blender. Crumble about three-quarters of the Rice Krispie mixture and add it to the blender. Blend until smooth but still thick. Pour into glasses. Cut the remaining treats into small pieces and scatter them on top. Serve immediately with wide straws.
