Rice Krispies Treats
Description
The recipe begins by melting butter over medium-low heat, then stirring in marshmallows until fully melted and smooth. Adding gel food coloring to the melted marshmallow mixture allows vibrant colors throughout the treats. Folding in the Rice Krispies cereal coats the grains with marshmallow, binding them as the mixture is pressed into a greased pan.
After cooling, the treats are cut into bars and decorated with colored candy melts and edible items, enabling creative designs suitable for holidays, parties, or other celebrations. The texture balances crunch from the cereal and chew from the marshmallow.
This preparation requires no baking, making it accessible and quick to assemble, with flexibility to vary decorations. Care should be taken to grease pans and hands to prevent sticking during shaping.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 20 ounces marshmallows
- 7 cups Rice Krispies
- Candy Melts colored
- Edible decorations
Instructions
- Heat a large saucepan over medium low heat. Add butter and let it melt.
- Grease a 13×9 inch pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Once the butter has melted add the marshmallows and stir them until they have fully melted. Approximately 5-7 minutes.
- When the marshmallows have fully melted add the gel food coloring of your choice. I usually use about 5 drops depending on the color I am going for.
- Add the Rice Krispies to the marshmallow mixture and stir together until the marshmallow coats everything.
- Lightly coat your hands in a little bit of butter or non-stick spray and then, while the mixture is warm, pour it into the greased pan and use a spatula and your hands to press it down into the pan making a solid layer of rice krispie treats.
- Let cool completely and then cut, serve, and decorate with your favorite Halloween decoration. See several Halloween Rice Krispies Treats decoration ideas in the post above.
