👩🏻🍳 Tips and Tricks
- Make sure you buy fresh marshmallows for these treats. Old stale marshmallows will make your treats hard.
- Line your pan with foil or parchment and then use soft butter to coat the bottom really well. This will keep the rice krispie treats from sticking to the pan.
- Count out 24 cookies ahead of time and have them ready to place in the center of the no bake treats.
- Use parchment paper to keep your hands clean when you are pressing the mixture down. Make sure to get the mixture in between the cookies, if you can.
- Be gentle when you press the warm rice krispie mixture down. Pressing down too hard is what makes rice krispie treats rock hard.
💭 Recipe FAQ'S
Lining the pan allows you to lift the rice krispie treats out of the pan as one giant rectangle. It just makes it easier to cut them into neat squares, but it's totally optional.
Yes, you can melt half the butter and marshmallows first, then stir in half the rice krispies cereal. Press all of this into the buttered pan. Then repeat with the second half.
No. You can use whatever cookie floats your boat. Or you can leave them out entirely. It's totally up to you.
Yes, you can, but I don't really recommend it. If you are going to, make sure you wrap them very well in saran wrap, then place in a freezer ziplock bag.
Set them out a few hours before you want to serve them. The colors on the sprinkles and chocolate may change colors as they defrost.
Yes, you can. But only aliens skip extra chocolate. Haha, just kidding. No, you can leave off the extra chocolate, if you like. You just won't have anywhere to stick the sprinkles.
