Double Marshmallow Puffed Rice Treats Recipe

Double Marshmallow Puffed Rice Treats
Difficulty: Easy | Total Time: 15 mins, plus cooling time | Active Time: | Makes: 15 squares

Despite what certain cereal ads may have you think, we stand by the belief that the best part of these treats is the marshmallows. So we added in way more, but to maintain the right texture, we folded some in at the end to keep them whole and the treats crunchy.

Game plan: The treats will last up to 3 days when covered and stored at room temperature.

This recipe was featured as part of our Back-to-School Bake Sale story.

INGREDIENTS
  • 11 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), plus extra for buttering the spatula and dish
  • 8 cups puffed rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Coat the bottom of a metal spatula and a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with butter; set aside.
  2. Combine 8 cups of the marshmallows and the butter in a medium pot and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth, about 8 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in cereal until well coated. Add remaining 3 cups marshmallows and stir just until mixed. Immediately turn mixture into the prepared baking dish and use the buttered spatula to uniformly flatten.
  4. Let set up until room temperature and firm, about 45 minutes. Cut into 15 (2-1/2-inch-by-2-1/2-inch) squares and serve.

  • Double Marshmallow Puffed Rice Treats Recipe
    5

    Super Easy. 1 box of rice krispies and 2 bags of the mini marshmallows is about what was needed. I liked the extra marshmallows it really adds a little extra to it. Also thought about adding in white chocolate chips for a surprise. maybe next time. I gave these two the kids for holiday time with the family. Especially for my nephew who isn't too fond on chocolate or cakes.

  • I would add some light corn syrup to make them more gooey and "melt in your mouth". I just made some with brown butter and about 1/4 tsp of salt mixed in with the cereal. Then I sprinkled a little bit of salt on top and they were amazing!! I feel like a kid again each time I make these yummy treats :-)

  • I love the colored marshmallows idea, and it reminds me that you can color/flavor the whole treat by mixing in a jello. Just pour in the dry jello mix when melting the marshmallows. I made orange last year for Halloween and the kids thought it was cool.

  • I made rice crispy treats using different color marshmallows I found at a dollar store in California and the kidz got a kick out of having the different colors. Just wanted to share that

  • Hmmm sounds delish Amy! what would I need to do if I wanted it more moist and melt in your mouth kind? and what is the best way to store these?
