Delicious homemade crispy treat bars.
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 | Cook time | Ready in | Yields |
|---|---|---|---|
5 min | 10 min | 15 min | Approximately 12 Crispy Treat Bars |

- Begin melting butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Continuously stirring.
- Slowly add in marshmallows.
- Continue stirring until the marshmallows and butter are completely melted.
- Remove pan from heat.
- Slowly pour in crisp rice cereal. I used 3/4 of the box of cereal.
