Skinny Rice Krispies Treats
Description
The recipe starts by melting a butter spread in a saucepan on low heat and gently melting the mini marshmallows into it without burning. The melted marshmallow mixture is then combined with Rice Krispies cereal quickly before it cools and stiffens, ensuring even coating and binding. The mixture is pressed into a prepared pan, typically with wax paper for easier removal, then cut into squares once set.
Since it uses a lighter butter spread, these treats may have a slightly different fat content but retain the classic chewy texture and sweetness characteristic of traditional Rice Krispies treats. The recipe emphasizes working quickly at the mixing stage to prevent the marshmallows from hardening prematurely.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter I used Smart Balance Light, light butter spread

- 6 cups Rice Krispies
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Spray a 9x12-inch pan with cooking spray and set aside.

- Melt butter spread being sure to coat the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking.
- Add marshmallows and melt on low flame.
- Stir until completely melted, then remove from heat.
- Add Rice Krispies to the melted marshmallows, and stir until completely combined (this is the hardest part, do this quick before the marshmallows cool).
