Rice Krispie Treat Recipe
Whip up this no-bake, kid-friendly Rice Krispie Treat Recipe in under 20 minutes for a gooey, buttery snack everyone will smile at.
Ingredients
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal look for a gluten-free brand if needed
- 4 cups mini marshmallows about one 10-oz bag; see Notes for mallows hacks
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter use organic or European-style for creaminess
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional but elevates flavor
- Pinch fine sea salt balances sweetness
Instructions
- Gather tools: a heavy-bottomed saucepan, a silicone spatula, and a buttered 9×13-inch pan.
- Melt the butter over low heat. Stir in marshmallows until melted and glossy.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt.
- Pour in the rice cereal and fold gently to coat evenly.
- Transfer mixture to prepared pan and press down evenly.
- Let cool for 20-30 minutes at room temperature or chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Once set, cut into 12-16 bars. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
For extra stability, measure marshmallows by volume, not weight. If you’re in a hurry, spray your 9x13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment—it’ll pop right out later.
