WORLD'S BEST RICE KRISPIES® TREATS



World's Best Rice Krispies® Treats image

Literally the best Rice Krispies® treats you have ever tasted due to a secret ingredient--sweetened condensed milk. You're welcome. Leftovers (there won't be any) can be placed in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days.

Provided by Jessie Sheehan

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Bar Cookie Recipes     Crispy Rice Treat Recipes

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:

  • Use fresh lemon or lime zest for the best flavor. Zest the citrus fruits finely to avoid any bitter pith.
  • If you don't have any lemon or lime juice, you can use bottled juice. Just be sure to use 100% juice, not a juice cocktail.
  • If you want a more intense citrus flavor, add a teaspoon or two of citrus extract to the melted butter.
  • For a fun twist, try adding a tablespoon of poppy seeds or chopped nuts to the melted butter.
  • Be sure to grease the pan before pouring in the melted mixture. This will help to prevent the treats from sticking.
  • Let the treats cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help to keep them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Lemon or lime Rice Krispies treats are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover rice cereal, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and tangy treat that everyone will love.
