Description
Rice Krispies Treats are a classic dessert that is loved by kids and adults alike. These chewy, crunchy, sticky-sweet treats are easy to make from scratch in just a few simple steps using only 3 ingredients! They’re bursting with buttery marshmallow flavor and the crackle of the popped rice makes them perfectly irresistible.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 14 ounces mini marshmallows (about 7 cups)
- 7 cups Rice Krispies® cereal
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking oil spray and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove the saucepan from heat.
- Add in the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until completely combined and well coated.
- Using a greased spatula, evenly press the mixture into the prepared baking dish. You can also stick your hands into a Ziploc bag and press the mixture that way.
- Let it cool completely before slicing, about 1 hour.
- Cut into 2-inch squares (15 squares) and serve.
Notes
Make them more gooey: Add in an extra 2 ounces (or 1 cup) of marshmallows to make the filling extra gooey.
How to store: Once completely cooled, you can store rice krispies treats in an airtight container or Ziploc bag for up to 2 days at room temperature or 7 days in the refrigerator.
How to freeze: Wrap each rice crispy treat individually in parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together, then layer them in a freezer-safe container or Ziploc bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow them to thaw overnight and then warm to room temperature for a few hours before eating.
