Rice Krispies Treats are a classic snack. I have loved them since childhood. My husband and I still love these as adults. Now there are a variety of flavors available, but nothing is quite as delicious as the original crunchy, marshmallow treat.

Making your own crispy treats is even better, and much more cost effective. All you need is a few simple ingredients. The best part? The recipe is incredibly easy and with just a little adult supervision, your kids can make these!

Here's what you need.

Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 10 min
Ready in: 15 min
Yields: Approximately 12 Crispy Treat Bars

Ingredients

  • 1 Box Crisp Rice Cereal
  • 1 Package Large Marshmallows
  • 4 Tablespoons Butter, I like Country Crock.
