Best Rice Krispie Treats
These treats are incredibly easy to make and require only a few ingredients. Let’s get started with what you’ll need and the simple instructions to whip them up!
### Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 package (10 oz) of marshmallows (about 40 regular or 4 cups mini)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for extra flavor)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Begin by greasing a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking (you can use parchment paper for easier removal too).
- In a large pot over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir continuously until they’re completely melted and smooth.
- If you’re using vanilla extract and salt, this is the time to add them. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Remove the pot from the heat and gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal. Make sure all the cereal is coated in the marshmallow mixture. It may seem sticky, but that’s okay!
- Transfer the mixture into the greased baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands (but be careful; it’s hot!) to press the mixture into an even layer. Press down firmly but not too hard, otherwise, they might become too dense.
- Let the treats cool completely at room temperature. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, cut them into squares or rectangles. Enjoy your delicious Rice Krispie Treats!
These Rice Krispie Treats are not just fun to make but also a joy to share with friends and family. You can even get creative by adding in some chocolate chips or sprinkles for a bit of personality. Enjoy every bite!
