Gooey marshmallows and crispy rice cereal come together in this recipe for the all-original favorite. We added a splash of vanilla extract and pinch of salt to give these sweet treats a palatable punch. Cut into squares, store between a few pieces of wax paper (to prevent any sticking) and enjoy for up to three days.

Time 45m

Yield Makes 24 cereal treats

Number Of Ingredients 7

Nonstick cooking spray
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
6 cups crispy rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
Decorative toppings, optional (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each of the longer sides. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.

  • Working quickly, add the rice cereal to the pot and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and press into an even, compact layer. (Spray your hands with a little cooking spray to keep them from sticking when pressing the cereal mixture into the pan). Decorate with toppings if using (see Cook's Note).

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the marshmallows: If you overcook them, they will become too hard and chewy.
  • Be careful not to burn the butter: Burnt butter will give your rice crispy treats a bitter taste.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: This is a great way to customize your rice crispy treats and make them your own.
  • Be patient: It takes a little time for the rice crispy treats to set. Don't try to rush them or they will fall apart.

Conclusion:

Rice crispy treats are a delicious and easy-to-make holiday treat. They are perfect for gift-giving or for enjoying at home with your family and friends. With a little creativity, you can easily customize your rice crispy treats to make them your own. So get creative and have fun!
