A fast and easy recipe for classic gooey Rice Krispies Treats that are perfect for snacks, potlucks, and nostalgic comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups (150 grams) Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 10 ounces (283 grams) Marshmallows (regular or mini)
  • 4 tablespoons (60 grams) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 4 tablespoons (60 grams) of unsalted butter slowly, being careful not to brown or burn it.
  3. Add 10 ounces (283 grams) of marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula until marshmallows are completely melted and smooth, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Remove the pan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  5. Immediately add 6 cups (150 grams) of Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Gently fold the cereal in until evenly coated, about 1–2 minutes. Do not overmix.
  6. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Using a buttered spatula or wax paper, press the mixture down firmly and evenly without compacting it, about 3–5 minutes.
  7. Let the treats cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

Melt marshmallows slowly over low heat to avoid burning. Press treats gently to keep them light and chewy. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 6 weeks. For vegan version, use vegan marshmallows and coconut oil instead of butter.
