Recipe Tips

To prevent the Rice Krispie mixture from sticking to your spatula or spoon, butter it before using it to press down the mixture in the baking dish. You can also wet your hands with cold water and use them to press down the mixture, which will prevent it from sticking to your hands. If you want the treats to be more gooey, use fewer Rice Krispies. If you want them to be more crunchy, use more Rice Krispies. You can also use other types of cereal instead of Rice Krispies, such as Froot Loops or Cocoa Puffs. Just make sure to adjust the amount of marshmallows and butter accordingly. Store the Rice Krispie treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
