Rice Crispy Treats

Stephanie Gallagher
Once you learn how to make rice crispy treats with this basic recipe, you can switch it up to suit your tastes. Try using homemade raspberry marshmallows in place of the regular marshmallows. Or try a crispy chocolate cereal in place of the crisped rice cereal for these rice crispy treats.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 10 oz. marshmallows or 4 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal

Preparation:

  1. Spray a 13 x 9 pan and a rubber spatula with cooking spray.

    Optional: Line the pan with parchment paper or waxed paper for easy removal of the treats.


  2. In a 3-quart saucepan, heat butter and marshmallows over medium heat until melted.

  3. Remove from heat, and immediately stir in the cereal, using the prepared spatula.

  4. Spread into the prepared pan. Flatten gently with the spatula. Let cool and harden completely. Cut into squares.
