Triple crunch krispie squares

I’ve not been baking as much recently. Not as much as I used to anyway. I’ve really missed having something sweet and homemade in to munch on with a decaf when the kids are in bed. It’s my time! And I need that time. The other day I wanted to bake something quick and easy that would give the kids a little treat as well as me. I looked in my cupboards and came up with this! It’s basically a few crunchy things that were lurking around mixed with melted marshmallows and peanut butter then topped with Nutella! Healthy? Nope. Tasty? Yeah.

The best part? I didn’t need to cook it at all! So it wasn’t actually baking in that sense… but who cares! It was ready in about an hour. And it really hit the spot.

Leave the peanut butter out if you wanted, and use melted chocolate on top instead. If you can’t get chopped honeycomb then smash a Crunchie bar up and use that? The options are endless but as long as the result is a chewy and crunchy treat then you’ve got it right. Think Toffee Crisp meets Snicker meets Crunchie bar!
