When I first decided to try to make Irish Car Bomb Rice Krispies Treats, I sorta thought it might make me seem like I have a bit of an alcohol problem.
I mean, who thinks of putting Bailey’s Irish Cream in a Rice Krispies Treat and then topping it with a Guinness glaze?
Me, apparently. And perhaps people who enjoy their liquor a bit too much.
But then I tried them. And they were phenomenal.
So if this makes me seem like I have a bit of an alcohol problem, then so be it. I don’t care. Because I am pretty sure I don’t, I just think it’s fun to eat things that have alcohol in them, that’s all. Jello shots? Yep. Pudding shooters? Sign me up.
Irish Car Bomb Rice Krispies Treats? Heck yes.
You seriously need to try these. What a fun treat for St. Patrick’s Day! {Or you know, like… Thursday.}
You tell me: Do you enjoy eating your liquor as well as drinking it? What’s your favorite alcoholic food??

they look delicious!
I am a huge Guinness and Bailey fan. I also tend to keep a bottle of Jamesons on hand. I am Irish, so I might be a bit biased. 😉 I can’t remember the last time I made rice krispy treats, but this might have to bring them out of hibernation!
I’ve tried this recipe multiple times now with the same exact results… really soggy treats… the flavors are there but the texture is way off.
First time I followed your measurements exactly, the next time I upped the marshmallows & Rice Krispies to compensate for the liquid going into the recipe and they came out less soggy but still not the gooey perfection of Rice Krispies Treats.
Any thoughts?
I found that if you freeze the Rice Krispy before putting drizzle on it the drizzle solidifies once it touches the treats and leaves the cereal itself super crispy.
