Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
No bake rice krispie treats made with just 3 ingredients: butter, marshmallows and crispy rice cereal. Melt, stir and press into a pan for the gooiest, softest squares every time!
Ingredients
- 5 Tablespoons butter
- 16 ounce mini marshmallows
- 6 cups rice krispies cereal (about 1/2 a box)
Instructions
- Line a 9×13″ (or 9x9" for thick bars) baking dish with foil and butter. Set aside.
- Melt 5 Tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and then add 7-8 cups marshmallows. Once they are almost melted, stir in the 6 cups rice krispies cereal and remaining 2-3 cups of mini marshmallows. Mix until completely coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Add mixture to baking dish and press down with a spoon coated in butter or wax paper to compact and level out surface.
- Cool before cutting. I find using a plastic knife to cut them works best.
Notes
Feel free to make fun variations for the holidays or special occasions. Just add food coloring, sprinkles or extras like M&M’s or chocolate chips.
Storage: Store in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature up to 3 days (a tight seal is what keeps them from turning dry and hard). Wrap squares in foil or plastic wrap to keep them from sticking together.
To freeze, individually wrap squares in foil, place in a zip-top freezer bag and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature about an hour before enjoying.
