comments-2543. RICE KRISPIES TREAT CAKE!!!! MAKE TWO INDIVIDUAL RECIPES AND PUT EACH ONE IN AN 8" ROUND CAKE PAN LINED WITH WAX PAPER AND BUTTERED.. (THEY WILL BE A BIT FULL). TURN ONE OVER ON TOP OF THE OTHER AND LET THEM COOL . TSKE THEM OUTOF THE PANS WAX PAPER REALLY HELPS HERE, STACK THEM ON TOP OF EACH OTHER, AND DECORATE. i USED THE GUMMY EYES AND OTHER HALOOWEEN CANDY FOR MOUTH AND NOSE(YOU CAN BUY A BAG OF THE COLORED GUMMIES). FOR THE HAIR I USED GUMMIY WORMS JUST TWIST A BIT AND SET ON TOP OR YOU COULD USE STRING LICORICE. PUT ON A PARTY HAT AND YOU HAVE A BIRTHDAY CAKE TREAT. THE KIDS LOVED IT AT MY GRANDSONS 7TH PARTY.

comments-1081. I love the Rice Crispie Treats! I always use Rice Crispies. I can tell a difference the times I used a different brand. I have been making these for at least 40 years, so over the years I have come up with some helpful hints. I naw make them in the microwave. I make mine in a large jelly roll pan, so I do 1.5 times the recipe (60 marshmallows, 8 cups Rice Crispies, and 5 T butter) When it is time to press the Rice Crispie Treat mixture into the pan, butter some wax paper, or simply butter the back side of a large spoon and press into the pan. If they start to stick to the paper or spoon, just re-butter until they are firly pressed into the pan.

comments-1801. My Mother used to make these when I was little. One tip I learned from her to help spread the rice krispie mixture into the dish is to wet the back of your spoon with some cold water. The mix does not stcik to the back of your spoon and makes quick work of getting it spread. Thanks Mom!

comments-2946. after reading all the reviews and tips, thought i'd add one that i didn't see. my mom used to put cut up marachino cherries into the mixture, or sometimes just on top as decoration during holiday time. tastes good and brightens them up. to those that can't have the marshmallows cause of the pork geletin, you can use the marshmallow creme in the jar as a substitute, it is made with cornstarch instead.:) going to go show my daughter now how to make for the first time.

comments-3128. I just made Halloween rice krispie treats by adding a box of orange jello (for added flavor) to the melted marshmallow mix and a little orange food coloring. I made them before using orange kool-aid, but they tasted a little funny (sour). I also used my Pampered Chef large scoop, generously sprayed with cooking spray!, to make them into cute little pumpkin shapes. It really does make a huge difference in stickiness if you can remember to butter/grease the walls of the pan you melt the marshmallows in BEFORE you add the marshmallows. And I also highly recommend a silicon rubber scraper for stirring, spooning and smashing the mix. I never was able to keep my wooden spoon slick enough to not get all gummed up while working with the marshmallow mix.

comments-1021. I am a school teacher and make Rice Crispie Treats with my kids often. We make them and then cut out shapes to go with the stories we are reading with cookie cutters. We have made peguins, mittens, snowmen, farm animals... We then decorate with chocolate chips or sprinkles and sometimes frosting.

comments-1521. In college I didn't have a stove or a fridge but I loved Rice Krispie treats so I figured out a way to do it but it is still my favorite way to do it! I do them in the microwave but I use Crisco instead of butter (I like the butter flavored Crisco best ) They don't get soggy like they do with butter and they stay fresh longer! Yum-o!

comments-2304. Years ago when I was a kid they made rice krispies that has little marshmellows in them (like the ones in "Lucky Charms") and my mom used to make rice krispie treats with them, I've been wanting them since, I recently went to an Amish Farmers Market and they sold bags of marshmellows from cereal (like the ones in "Lucky Charms") so I bought them and made marshmellow rice krispies treats, you don't melt the cereal marshmellows I used a cup of them and only 5 cups of rice krispies...Talk about reliving my childhood, only if mom made them instead. LOL!

comments-2743. These are classic! I loved these as a child, and still love them now with children of my own! I like them plain, but also enjoy them with mix-ins. My favorite mix-in is butterscotch chips - my grandmother taught me that. They give the rice krispie treats something special, and are just really yummy!

comments-2482. For sticky spoon problems use a SILICONE spoon or spatula for removing marshmallow creme out of the jar. Use the same spatula for mixing ingredients in the bowl when using the microwave for the recipe. The warm mixture removes most of the marshmallow creme from the spatula. No spraying and little mess. Silicone spoons and spatulas are dishwasher safe. I use a dinner fork to even the mixture in the pan. It does not stick and provides an easy way to smooth out the mixture evenly and even compacts the mixture. I use KRAFT marshmallow creme since we had a mess melting the marshmallows. They were old. The marshmallow creme lasts longer. It is always convenient to use and easy to have in the cupboard. Silicone spoons and spatulas are dishwasher safe and easy to wash in the machine. Just remember to recycle the container.

comments-1781. I'm 67 years old and my favorite Christmas memory is when my grandmother would send a big box of presents (she was in Oklahoma and we were in California) with admonitions "not to open until Christmas." However, her Rice Krispy treats were marked, "open now." Even though both my parents were local bakers, my grandma's treats were the best of all! I now plan to make them with my two year old grandson. Thanks for the memories.

comments-981. My family LOVES Rice Krispie treats...my Mom made them for me and my brother all the time growing up, and now I make them for my daughter and son. We do a twist on the recipe now, though, that makes them even yummier! I add 2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter in the butter/marshmallow mixture and then stir in the cereal. Sometimes I also stir in chopped walnuts and drizzle the top with melted chocolate chips for an extra special treat. We have tried M&M's, sprinkles and all kinds of stir-in's...the possibilities are endless! :o)

comments-3006. Great recipe to use to make mock sedimentary rocks as a demonstration in class. Add gummy fish for a layer -- a little cocoa powder or cupcake sprinkles for sand; chocolate chips for pebbles; coconut for brush; maraschino cherries for bolders and the marshmallo as the silt/ Then build in layers in a pan so students can see the layers

comments-2001. Sometimes I like to incorporate bacon bits in the mix. It's best to mix the bacon bits thoroughly within the dry rice krispies and then add the marshmallows later. The bacon pieces add a great contrast to the sweetness of the marshmallow. Hope someone appreciates the tip!

comments-1281. As a kid my mom always made us "chocolate rice krispi treats" she used Nestle semi sweet chips, Nestle buttescotch chips, and peanut butter, melt all and mix well, then add in the rice krispi's, since she lost the recipe years ago, we just do it by taste..I always use a little bit more chocolate chips than butterscotch, and about a half cup pnut butter, but it is the best ever..of course we have to have marshmallow ones occasionally too!

comments-701. These are wonderful. My family can go through a batch in a day or two. We recently altered the recipe and add a half of a bag of chocolate chips to it when melting the marshmallow. (A whole bag is WAY too much chocolate) Also instead of pushing them down into a cake pan, I make scoop fuls and let them set on waxed paper. They stay gooyer, gooier, gooieer ha ha??!! Good Luck and enjoy! MMmmmm

comments-562. As always rice krispie treats are a classic family favorite. A girlfriend and I were craving some and decided to try adding peanut butter and chocolate chips...amazing! So throw in 4 tbsp of peanut butter and a half cup of chocolate chips and share a treat people will talk about at every holiday party.

comments-962. On New Year's eve, My family celebrated by making Rice Krispies. We made 7 batches for the party we had at church. It was fun, because Kristen (my daughter) & I made Original RKs. We had a contest to see who could make the most tasteful and beautiful Rk. We decorated ours with balloons (skittles) party hats (frosting & alot of candy) and Kristen made (on hers) herself out of gummy stuff like fruit by the foot fruit roll ups and stickers. We won the contest!

comments-502. I am Very new at making these. Lol, this was my first time to make these. I thought I had flubbed the recipe when the marshmallows overflowed the bowl in the microwave. I used a 1lb bag of mini's and a full box for Chocolate Rice Krispies. My kids had been begging me to make these as the start of the candy and goodies making next two weeks. All in all they were very easy to prepare. My hubby was the strong arm and mixed them while I held onto the HOT bowl. I have always loved these treats and I am happy to be able to bring them to my family. We recently found that we are celiacs (allergic to Gluten). We are happy to know that Rice flour contains no gluten and is used in many foods such as pastas, breads and cereals (yay). Thank you Kellogg's!!

comments-281. There are times that I use the jar of marshmallow creme instead of a bag of marshmallows. That to me seems to help make this a little faster. This is a treat that my sons looked forward to when they came home from school every day. It was this or the tray of fruits I would cut up for them to eat while they were doing their homework. I also remember getting these when I was a little girl growing up in GA. My grandmo made them for all the grandchildern.

comments-1681. The only problem I've had in following the recipe is that there are no tips given on how to keep the mixture from sticking... to everything! I buttered/greased my hands, spoon, spatula, and pan... my husband assisted me and commented that he now knows how Frodo felt when caught in the web, lol! It was difficult to keep the mixture together and well-mixed; other than that the recipe is easy to remember and doesn't require much equipment :)

Usually use large sandwich, or quart size.

comments-6398. Hi my name is Sarina. I am 22 years old. Today is my first time making rice krispies. I have always loved them. My mom is having a little 4th of July party and i thought that rice kripies are our family's favorite so I am making the originals and chocolate rice krispies. I have made the originals first they turned out great. I used a wooden spoon and a metal pain. Yes they got really sticky. But my older sister showed me a trick a while back when i used to mess up pans and pot real bad. Fill pot/pan with hot water and put some soap in there. Put you spoon in the pan/pot and stick on burner. Let it boil for 10-20min and all is good. If you do what i am doing making 2 different batches that will give you enough time to get the next batch ready and clean up from the first. For the chocolate recipe instead of using regular marshmallows i am using chocomallows from jet-puffed. Hope they turn out as good as the originals did:)

comments-1861. HELP - my daughter is diabetic and I have lost my Rice Krispie marshmallow square recipe. This recipe contains corn starch - I can't recall the amount. The corn starch helps to maintain a steady blood glucose level to prevent a low blood sugar over night - great for her guide camp sleepover tonight. Does anyone know this recipe?

comments-6050. I love this quick and easy recipe. I cut the recipe in half for my son so there isn't any waste. He helps me make them and I let him choose food coloring to make them fun! Add the food coloring BEFORE you add the Rice Krispies. My son says they are delicious. We can't buy the store shelf ready made because he is allergic to milk products, but these are dairy free!

comments-7023. My rice krispy treats always turn out perfect as long as I do two simple things: 1) Use butter on the bottom of a glass pan and 2) Use butter on my hands when spreading the rice krispy treats into the pan (while they are still warm)

comments-6399. Well I thought I update from my post earlier. The chocolate rice krispies came out great as well as the originals. When sticking it into the pan it seem a lot more sticker then the originals. I forgot to mention earlier instead of using butter/pam or anything for the pan that I laid out the rice krispies to cool in I took a piece of Reynolds wrap and laid it on the pan so that it covered the sides and bottom. When it was cool I had pieces of reynolds wrap hanging over the side so it made it easier to pull out of the pan and i carefully cut it into squares and stuck them in the refrigerator until later. Hope you find it as easy as I did. :)

comments-2162. ok so my mom and i were making these so called "easy to make" treats and we failed horribly. The marshmellows didn't really melt they became a small blob instead of creamy and they wouldn't melt... they taste like crispy chewing gum.... can anyone tell me what we are doing wrong? We used a whole bag of big marshmellows and used the stove... after that didn't work we used the microwave... we need help ASAP! Thanks, ya'll. If you can make these then you are very lucky! lol

comments-7027. We have found that for the holidays If you add a little food coloring to the mix it is more festive and we add flavoring based on the holiday or occasion. Like at Xmas we do peppermint, Valentines day we add Cinnimon, Easter we do Strawberry, Orange, and Bananna, flavoring and they are always a hit!

comments-16051346510054706. Use PARCHMENT PAPER! I use Kirkland (Costco) brand, and no butter is needed, nothing sticks to it. This is way better than waxed paper. Seriously. I line the pan, leaving extra to fold over the top so I can just press the paper down. My hands stay clean and the squares come out wonderful.

comments-1022. I am a school teacher and make Rice Krispie Treats with my kids often. We make them and then cut out shapes to go with the stories we are reading with cookie cutters. We have made peguins, mittens, snowmen, farm animals... We then decorate with chocolate chips or sprinkles and sometimes frosting.

comments-1961. okay so my mom loves rice krispies but hates marshmallows, so i never get to make them. so when i go up to my grandmas house I'll make some for her and when my 4 year old cousin comes to visit. I also want to know what the names are for the little guys on the bax. is it Snap, Crackle, and Pop?
keri, MD – Posted: 06-24-2009, 07:39 AM
comments-2002. Sometimes I like to incorporate bacon bits in the mix. It's best to mix the bacon bits thoroughly within the dry rice krispies and then add the marshmallows later. The bacon pieces add a great contrast to the sweetness of the marshmallow. Hope someone appreciates the tip!

comments-6610. I never like RK treats until I made them myself. Now I make them at least once a week. I use Caramel Vanilla Marshmallows for a really different taste. I highly recommend this to all RK treat lovers. My kids, neighbors, friends, and anyone sitting next to me while I eat them all want some. I can't sneak them anywhere. I have to make 2-3 batches each time or there are never enough to go around. As it is there is always a few people not happy they missed out. Seriously, TRY THEM!!!!!

comments-6485. If you have stoneware it becomes non-stick so you don't need to use a greased pan. If you have a silicone spatula you can use it to stir the melting marshmallows and to press the treats into the 9 x 13. Silicone won't melt easily and doesn't stick to the marshmallow like metal or wooden spoons.

comments-16051353065950393. My family love my version of the rice krispie treats....we find the original recipe a little dry for our taste buds so I always add an extra 1/2 tablespoon of butter and 4 or 5 extra marshmallows along with some pure vanilla extract....you can also change them up by adding crushed cashews.....I keep them refrigerated rather then room temp...they come out perfect every time :-)
Catherine, AK – Posted: 11-16-2012, 05:39 AM
comments-6026. instead of 6 cups of Rice Krispies, i use 2 cups of Rice Krispies, 2 cups Fruity Pebbles and 2 cups captain crunch. after i mix them all in and just before i spread them in the pan, i throw in a handful of extra mini marshmallows - they still get melty, but they're a nice yummy bonus when you're eating the treat. These get rave reviews every time I make them! (the same mix of cereals are good just to eat as a cereal party mix, too, for slumber parties and the like!)

I have made these over the years and I got a really good deal on marshmallows the other day however after two days of being open they turned into one big clump soo I thought that I would use them to make these . I love the homemade treats better than the boxed ones at the store . i don't mind them but they just don't taste the same . home made is best made I think . thank you for this classic recipe that I can make and maybe be able to capture being a kid again for a while :)
