Gooey marshmallows and crispy rice cereal come together in this recipe for the all-original favorite. We added a splash of vanilla extract and pinch of salt to give these sweet treats a palatable punch.

Time 45m

Yield Makes 24 cereal treats

Number Of Ingredients 7

Nonstick cooking spray
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
6 cups crispy rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
Decorative toppings, optional (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each of the longer sides. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
  • Working quickly, add the rice cereal to the pot and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and press into an even, compact layer. (Spray your hands with a little cooking spray to keep them from sticking when pressing the cereal mixture into the pan). Decorate with toppings if using (see Cook's Note).
  • Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into 24 squares. Store the cereal treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Stale or old marshmallows will not melt properly and will make the treats tough.
  • Do not overcook the marshmallows. Overcooked marshmallows will make the treats too hard.
  • Add the crispy rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture as soon as it is melted. The cereal will absorb the marshmallow mixture and become crispy.
  • Press the treats firmly into the pan. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
  • Let the treats cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the knife.

Conclusion:

Crispy rice circus treats are a delicious and easy-to-make snack. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these treats in no time. So next time you are looking for a sweet and salty snack, give crispy rice circus treats a try.
