Rice Krispie Treats are a beloved classic dessert known for their irresistible chewy texture and gooey marshmallow goodness.
To create the perfect Rice Krispie Treats, you'll need just three main ingredients: Rice Krispies cereal, marshmallows, and butter. Use high-quality ingredients for the best results.
Start by melting the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth, creating a sticky.
Once the marshmallows are melted, remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until they are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture into a greased baking pan and press it firmly into an even layer using a spatula or your hands.
Allow the Rice Krispie Treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour. This allows the marshmallow mixture to firm up, resulting in perfectly chewy treats.
Once the treats are completely cooled and set, use a sharp knife to cut them into squares or rectangles of your desired size. For clean cuts, wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts.
Get creative with your Rice Krispie Treats by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts. You can also drizzle them with melted chocolate.
Serve your divine Rice Krispie Treats as a sweet snack or dessert, and watch as they disappear in seconds. These chewy, gooey delights are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
