Skill Level: Easy
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- ½ cup melted chocolate (optional, for drizzle)
- ¼ cup colorful sprinkles (optional)
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture, stirring until well-coated and evenly combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish using a buttered spatula or wax paper.

- Once fully set and cool, cut into neat squares and serve on a colorful, playful plate to match the fun vibe!
For easy mixing, lightly grease your spatula or mixing spoon with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. You can also use mini marshmallows for quicker melting. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors and balance the sweetness.
Store the Rice Krispie Treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to six weeks; just let them come to room temperature before serving.
If you prefer, you can replace the butter with coconut oil and use vegan marshmallows for a dairy-free version. Gluten-free Rice Krispies cereal is also available for those with gluten sensitivities.
