- Can You Freeze Caramel Rice Krispie Treats?
- Can You Freeze Caramel Rice Krispie Treats?
- Yes, they freeze great! Once you’ve chilled them, slice them into squares. Wrap each square in plastic wrap (or stack them in a container with wax paper separating the layers) and then store them in a freezer bag or container. They will keep well in the freezer for two months.
- Variations
- Variations
- Be sure to use fresh marshmallows! If your marshmallows are stale, your rice krispie treats won’t be as soft.
- Don’t overcook the marshmallows. When you melt them with the butter, start with one minute in the microwave and then stir. If needed, warm them for 30 seconds more so the mixture is smooth.
- Once you add the cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture, work quickly to press it into the pan before it sets.
- To keep the marshmallow cereal mixture from sticking to your hands, lightly coat your hands with cooking spray before pressing the mixture into the pan.
- Don’t skip the chilling step – if you don’t let the bars set up they will be too soft and fall apart when you slice them.
- Be sure to store the treats in an airtight container either at room temperature or in the fridge. If they are exposed to air they will dry out and harden.
- Make salted caramel rice krispie treats – just sprinkle some sea salt over the caramel filling before you add the top layer.
- Love chocolate? Turn them into chocolate caramel bars and drizzle some melted chocolate over the top before you chill them. Or, sprinkle some chocolate chips over the caramel layer!
