How to Make Rice Krispie Treats
Table of Contents
They’re actually really easy to make! Our favorite way is to brown the butter first to give them even more flavor and nuttiness. We also add vanilla extract too.
Supplies
- Large pot
- Wooden spoon
- Parchment paper
- Rectangular cake pan
- Measuring cups
Ingredients
- Rice Krispies
- Marshmallows
- Salted Butter
- Vanilla extracts
- White candy melts
- Sprinkles eyes
- Piping bag
Directions
- Gather and measure all of the ingredients.
- In a large pot, melt salted butter until golden brown.
- The browning process is important as you want the butter to brown for the flavor of the Rice Krispie treats.
- Once the butter is melted, add in the vanilla extract.
- On low heat, add in the marshmallows and coat them in butter by turning them with a wooden spoon.
- The marshmallows will begin to melt as you stir.
- Stir until they are fully melted like marshmallow cream.
- Remove from heat and add in the Rice Krispies Cereal and stir until it’s very sticky and blends together.
- Pour the mixture into a buttered 13×9 cake pan.
- Use a spatula to spread the Rice Krispie treats around in the pan.
- The absolute best and the only way to press the mixture into the cake pan is by using parchment paper. It doesn’t stick the marshmallow mixture and you can easily press down firmly getting an even layer of Rice Krispies.
My little boy loved this part! I like seeing his chubby little hand pressing the parchment paper.
- Once they’re evenly pressed in the pan, let them set for an hour before cutting.
You can enjoy them like this as they are SO good or you can turn them into mummies!!
The best way to cut Rice Krispie Treats
Letting the Rice Krispie treats sit for an hour to cool is key for cutting them. This will make it much easier to get a knife through the treats.
Use a buttered knife to slice down the center of the pan and then cut rectangles. You will want to eat them ALL so restrain!
