These no-bake treats taste exactly like a root beer float but in chewy bar form. With a concentrated root beer syrup and a white chocolate drizzle, they’re quick, easy, and perfect for parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 oz mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup root beer
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate melting wafers (or white chocolate chips + 1 teaspoon coconut oil)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides. Lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the root beer to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 3 tablespoons. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
  4. Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly over low heat until fully melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Pour in the reduced root beer syrup and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until combined.
  6. Remove the pot from heat. Add the Rice Krispies cereal and fold gently until every piece is coated, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Using a second piece of parchment paper or a greased spatula, gently press into an even layer. Do not press too hard.
  8. Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes until set.
  9. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate wafers in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. If using chips, add 1 teaspoon coconut oil.
  10. Transfer melted white chocolate to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the tip snipped off. Drizzle over the cooled treats. Optionally, sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
  11. Once the chocolate sets (about 10 minutes), lift the treats out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares with a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between cuts.

Notes

Reduce the root beer first to concentrate flavor without adding too much liquid. Use low heat when melting butter and marshmallows to avoid graininess. Fold cereal gently to keep treats chewy. For clean cuts, chill treats for 10 minutes before slicing and wipe knife between cuts.
