Rice Krispie Treats

Timeless and nostalgic dessert bars that are light, chewy, and crispy with a buttery sweetness from sweetened condensed milk and marshmallows.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1/4 Tsp Kosher Salt
  • 2/3 Cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 12 Oz Mini Marshmallows
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 7 Cups Rice Krispie Cereal

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan. Spray a 9×13 inch pan with butter cooking spray. Optionally, line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Melt the butter. Place a large pot over medium heat, add the unsalted butter and kosher salt. Stir as the butter melts.
  3. Add the sweetened condensed milk. Once the butter is melted, pour in the sweetened condensed milk and stir until combined.
  4. Melt the marshmallows. Add the mini marshmallows and stir over medium heat until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Stir in vanilla. Add the vanilla extract and stir briefly to combine.
  6. Add the cereal. Pour in the Rice Krispie cereal and fold gently until evenly coated.
  7. Press into the pan. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and press down evenly.
  8. Cool and cut. Allow to cool at room temperature for about an hour before cutting into squares.

Notes

Use a silicone spatula to avoid crushing the cereal too much. For longer storage, wrap bars in plastic and freeze for up to 2 months.
