THE ORIGINAL RICE KRISPIES TREATS SQUARES



The Original Rice Krispies Treats Squares image

This is the recipe for the original rice krispies treats squares...It never fails! Plus, it is a great way to use up a box of cereal! For best results, use fresh marshmallows. I have replaced the butter once with Mott's Healthy Baking butter or oil substitute (it was basically an unsweetened apple sauce) and they still turned out great!

World's Best Rice Krispies® Treats image

Time 1h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
½ cup unsalted butter
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
1 (10 ounce) package miniature marshmallows
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies®)
1 pinch Sea Salt, gray

Steps:

  • Grease an 8x8x2-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add sweetened condensed milk. Stir with a rubber spatula until butter and milk are uniformly combined and small bubbles are forming in the center of the mixture, about 2 minutes. (When you first begin stirring they will look separated.) Add the bag of marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth. Add vanilla extract and salt and stir again. Remove from heat.
  • Stir rice cereal and remaining cup of marshmallows into the pot to combine. Transfer to the prepared pan and press down lightly with a sheet of plastic wrap; don't pack them down too hard or they will lose their inherently soft and gooey texture. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Let set up on the counter for at least 1 hour. Cut into 16 squares.

Tips for Making Perfect Rice Krispie Treats:

1. Use fresh marshmallows: Fresh marshmallows will melt more evenly and give your treats a better texture. 2. Don't overcook the marshmallows: Overcooked marshmallows will make your treats too hard and chewy. 3. Add the cereal to the marshmallows while they are still warm: This will help the cereal to stick to the marshmallows and prevent the treats from crumbling. 4. Don't press the treats too firmly into the pan: This will make them too dense and hard. 5. Let the treats cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape. 6. Decorate your treats with sprinkles, candy, or other toppings: This is a fun way to add a personal touch to your treats.

Conclusion:

Rice Krispie treats are a classic dessert that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make perfect Rice Krispie treats every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give these treats a try. You won't be disappointed!
