Rice Krispies Treats are a classic, no-bake dessert that has been loved for generations. Made with just three simple ingredients—Rice Krispies cereal, butter, and marshmallows—this sweet treat is chewy, crunchy, and irresistibly delicious. Perfect for kids and adults alike, Rice Krispies Treats come together quickly and are ideal for parties, lunchbox snacks, or a simple afternoon indulgence. The buttery marshmallow coating binds the crispy rice cereal into gooey squares that can be customized with add-ins like chocolate chips, sprinkles, or peanut butter.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 4 cups mini marshmallows (or 10 oz bag)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
- Add the marshmallows to the saucepan, stirring constantly until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, if using.
- Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, stirring until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Quickly transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it down gently with a spatula or buttered hands to evenly distribute.
- Allow the Rice Krispies Treats to cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting them into squares.
Enjoy these simple, nostalgic Rice Krispies Treats anytime you need a quick, sweet snack!
