The Best Rice Krispie Treats

Rice Krispie Treats are a favorite for both kids and adults. They are sweet and gooey with a crunch from the Rice Krispies. We love the marshmallow to cereal ratio with this recipe! You can, of course, use any Rice Krispies you would like. My granddaughter loves blue and green so, I made these for her.

Ingredients Needed for The Best Rice Krispie Treats:

• 6 tbsps butter
• 16 ounces miniature marshmallows divided
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 6 cups Kellogg’s Rice Krispies

Instructions for The Best Rice Krispie Treats:

1. Grease a 9×9 baking dish. You can use non-stick cooking spray or I prefer to use butter. Set baking dish aside. 
2. In a large pot, begin to melt the butter. I like to move the butter around the bottom of the pan and then, add the ten ounces of miniature marshmallows. Stir over medium to medium low heat until marshmallows have melted. Stir continually so mixture will not burn.
3. Add the vanilla and stir.
4. Add the Rice Krispies cereal and the remaining six ounces of mini marshmallows. 
5. Reduce heat and stir until combined and marshmallows begin to melt. You to not want the six ounces of marshmallows to completely melt.
6. Lightly press mixture Into the prepared greased 9×9 baking dish. Only lightly press and handle the mixture as little as possible. I like to use butter to grease the baking dish and also use butter on my hands when lightly pressing the mixture into the pan. 
7. Allow time to cool. Cut and enjoy!
