Rice Krispies Treats



For some odd reason I was craving Rice Krispies treats.  No alternate ending, just the original.  I'm not exactly sure why; I think I saw a TV commercial and then spotted a sad looking packaged one in a cafe and just knew I needed to craft the sticky squares myself.  I also think the whole Halloween time of year always gets me reminiscing of my youth and fun treats.  I think the last time I made these I was probably staring up at my mom as she stirred the melted marshmallows.  Well, there may have been one night in college at 2am. I forgot how incredibly gooey the mixture gets.  It was so fun.  I was longing for my nieces who would have reveled in the assembly.  Upon closer reflection these really are perfect treats for kids because there is no baking required and you don't even really need to wait for them to cool.  And uh, 3 ingredients?  I'm bringing a big container of these to my students tonight and I'm sure they'll love them.  I've eaten more than a few myself. Forget fancy madelines, these paired perfectly with some herbal tea this afternoon.  

Here is the recipe, which you can also find here.  Apparently the recipe is no longer worthy of being printed on the Rice Krispies box, so I actually had to look it up!   

Rice Krispies Treats

3 tbsp butter
4 cups mini marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies   

In a large sauce pan (or dutch oven) melt butter over low-medium heat.  Add marshmallows and stir until melted.  Remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispies.  Pour and press into 13 x 9 pan coated with cooking spray.  Spray a little cooking spray on your hand and press down mixture evenly.  Cool for about 2 minutes and then you can cut right into them.
