Time 45m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
6 cups crispy rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
1 cup chopped sugar-coated marshmallow chicks, such as Peeps (about 8)
1 cup candy-coated mini chocolate eggs or other candy-coated chocolates
1/3 cup chopped chocolate bunnies (about one 1.5 ounce hollow bunny)

Steps:

  • Line an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with a sheet of foil large enough to leave a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Grease the foil with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows, stirring occasionally until they melt completely, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt.
  • Working quickly, add the rice cereal and candy 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. (Wet your hands to keep the mixture from sticking.) Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into 16 squares.
  • Store the treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

For a no-bake treat just right for lunchboxes or after school, try this fun twist on a childhood favorite that goes beyond the usual "Snap, Crackle, and Pop" blueprint and plays with other great combinations found in the cereal aisle. Each of the four variations uses the same marshmallow base-whether you want to use the mix-ins to take it in a chocolatey, tropical, or fruity direction is entirely up to you!

CEREAL TREATS I



Cereal Treats I image

This version has no chocolate topping, but it would be easy to melt chocolate chips and spread them over the top. We have a nut allergy in our family and I omit the peanut butter and substitute 1/2 cup of butterscotch chips melted with the margarine instead.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of marshmallows. Different types of marshmallows can create different textures and flavors in your crispy treats. For example, using mini marshmallows will create a chewier treat, while using regular marshmallows will create a softer treat. You can also use a combination of different types of marshmallows to create a unique flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the marshmallows. Overcooked marshmallows will make your crispy treats tough and chewy. To prevent this, cook the marshmallows over low heat and stir constantly until they are melted and smooth.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. Crispy treats are a great way to use up leftover candy, cereal, or nuts. You can also add dried fruit, spices, or extracts to create a unique flavor. Be creative and experiment with different combinations of mix-ins to find your favorite crispy treat recipe.
  • Let the crispy treats cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart. Once they are cool, you can cut them into bars, squares, or any other desired shape.
  • Store the crispy treats in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Crispy treats are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover marshmallows and other ingredients, and they can be customized to suit your own taste. With a little creativity, you can make crispy treats that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
