CLASSIC CRISPY RICE TREATS
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.

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.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
- 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).
- Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into 24 squares. Store the cereal treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- For a fun twist, use different colored marshmallows or add sprinkles, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts to the mixture.
- If you don't have a microwave, you can make these treats on the stovetop. In a large saucepan, melt the butter and marshmallows over low heat, stirring constantly. Once the marshmallows are melted, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cereal.
- To make gluten-free treats, use gluten-free Rice Krispies or another gluten-free cereal.
- These treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a fun and easy way to decorate these treats, drizzle them with melted chocolate or caramel.
