Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Spatula or knife
  • Oven dish lined with greaseproof or parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 45 g butter
  • 250 g marshmallows
  • 165 g Rice Krispies cereal

Instructions
 

  • Melt the Butter:
    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat on the stove.
  • Add the Marshmallows:
    Once the butter is melted, add the 250g of marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the marshmallows have fully melted and the mixture is smooth and gooey.
  • Stir in the Rice Krispies:
    Keeping the pan over low heat, gently fold in the 165g of Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until the cereal is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  • Transfer to a Dish:
    Remove the pan from heat. Pour the marshmallow-coated Rice Krispies into a dish lined with greaseproof or parchment paper.
  • Level the Mixture:
    Use a spatula or the back of a knife to evenly spread and compact the Rice Krispies mixture in the dish until the top is flat.
  • Set the Treats:
    Let the Rice Krispies treats set. You can either place them in the fridge to chill or leave them in a cool, covered place until firm.
  • Cut into Squares:
    Once the treats have set, peel back the parchment paper and cut the giant Rice Krispies square into 12 smaller squares.

Notes

Notes:
  • Feel free to get creative by adding extra ingredients like chocolate chips, sprinkles, or a drizzle of melted chocolate on top for added flavor and fun.
  • Store any leftover Rice Krispies treats in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
