Remember when you were young and your mom would have a pile of deliciously soft Rice Krispie Treats waiting for you when you got home from school? On a college budget there really is no better treat that the sweet treat of your childhood. There are many ways to switch it up, whether it be the type of cereal you use (cocoa kripies, frity pebbles, golden grahams) or add ins you put in with the marshmallows (chocolate chips, m&m’s) there’s no denying that Rice Kripie Treats can make anyone’s ordinary day into an extraordinary day.
A great place to find some recipes is on the Rice Krispies website. They have fun ideas to make your treats seasonal (turkeys for thanksgiving, pumpkins for halloween) as well as a couple variations on their classic recipe. I’m going to share the classic recipe.
Recipe:
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 Package (10 oz) Regular Marshmallows or 4 Cups of Mini-Marshmallows
- 6 Cups Rice Krispies
- In a large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
- Add cereal and stir until well coated.
- With a spatula spread evenly into a 9×13 pan
- Let cool. Cut, and Enjoy!
