Making classic Rice Krispie treats is a fast and simple process requiring only three main ingredients: butter, marshmallows, and Rice Krispies cereal. The key to the best results is to use low heat to avoid making the treats too hard. Sugar Spun Run Sugar Spun Run +4 Ingredients 3 tablespoons butter (salted is recommended) 1 package (10 oz., about 40) Jet-Puffed Marshmallows OR 5-1/2 cups Miniature Marshmallows 6 cups Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® cereal (Optional) 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor Rice Krispies Treats Rice Krispies Treats +4 Instructions Melt the Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth. Add Flavoring (Optional): Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix in Cereal: Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Stir until the cereal is completely and evenly coated. Press into Pan: Using a buttered spatula or wax paper, evenly press the mixture into a 13x9x2-inch pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Tip: Do not press too hard or pack the mixture too tightly, or the treats will be hard instead of chewy. Cool and Cut: Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 1 hour. Cut into 2-inch squares. Sugar Spun Run Sugar Spun Run +5 Tips for Success Use Fresh Marshmallows: Old, stale marshmallows will make the treats hard and won't melt properly. Use Extra Marshmallows: For a gooier, softer treat, use 16 oz (about 8 cups) of marshmallows instead of 10 oz, along with 6-7 cups of cereal. Microwave Method: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the butter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after every 1-2 minutes until smooth.
