Instant Pot Rice Krispie Treat
Description
This recipe uses the Sauté function of the Instant Pot to melt butter and marshmallows smoothly. Adding rice cereal in increments ensures an even coating. Folding chocolate candies into only the top layer prevents them from melting completely, preserving their shape and adding a controlled chocolate flavor. The mixture transfers to a prepared pan with wax paper and is smoothed before setting overnight.
The final texture is soft and sticky, characteristic of Rice Krispie treats, with the added sweetness and texture of chocolate candies to complement. The preparation avoids over-mixing, preserving the cereal's crispness while binding it with marshmallow.
These treats can be customized by using different colored candies for holidays or varied cereal types. They are convenient for snacks and can be made ahead and stored at room temperature or refrigerated. Keeping candies near the surface retains their look and bite without overwhelming melting.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 marshmallows large; bags
- 8 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 14 cups rice cereal Rice Krispie brand
- 1 chocolate candies mini; heaping cup
Instructions
- Put a piece of wax paper at the bottom of an 18x13 baking pan. Set aside.
- Place butter in the Instant Pot insert, and turn on the Sauté function. Stir until melted.
- Gradually add in marshmallows and stir gently until all have melted.
- Turn off the Instant Pot and carefully remove the insert. Add the rice krispie cereal in 2 cup increments, stirring until completely combined with melted marshmallow mixture.
- Once the mixture has cooled slightly, add a handful of the chocolate candies and very gently fold them into the top layer only.
- Scoop out the top layer, and spread out evenly in the prepared baking pan.
- Take another handful of chocolate candies and gently fold into the top layer, then remove and add to the pan. Continue this process until you have mixed-in all of the candies and added the rice krispie cereal mixture to the pan.
- Place a piece of wax paper on top and use your hands to smooth down. Allow to set overnight, then remove wax paper and cut into squares.
Notes
- Add chocolate candies only to the top few inches of the mixture to prevent melting through.
- Customize colors and candies to match holidays or events for visual appeal.
- Variations can include different flavored marshmallows or cereals.
