I love these things. I use a whole stick of butter!!! An extra handful of marshmallows and when I take the melted mixture off of the heat, I add a teaspoon or more of pure vanilla extract. Soooo good.
For Christmas do the same with cornflakes and green food coloring. Shape into wreaths or drop from a teaspoon to look like holly. Add red cinnamon candies to each for berries. People love them but have no idea what they are. Fun to see their reactions when told. |

My Rice Crispy treats were hard as taffy, perhaps it was because my marshmellows were a year old? |

I like to use marshmallow cream and before adding the cereal, I add a bit of vanilla extract. I found that putting them in the refrigerator makes them last a bit longer and they taste wonderful. |

Thanks for the site. Engineers cook differently, so this is very enjoyable.
One of my gifted friends uses candy corn in the crispies. They taste really good. |

I love making rice krispie treates at home with the kids, but I find they make insane gifts for clients because they are very inexpensive and well received. Try the Cripery for ideas. |

|

before i moved to toronto, i used to substitute marshmallow cream for the marshmallows (just zap in the microwave for a shorter time). but honestly, you can't beat the *gooeyness* of marshmallows. i'm glad we get halal marshmallows in toronto ($2.29/bag at iqbal foods) |

Michael,
Thanks so much for this website and for sharing your recipes. I'm anxious to try them.
Every one loves rice crispy squares. Unfortunately, I can't have them anymore, because I've become diabetic and they have a ton of sugar in them. But I still make them for my sons ocasionally.
I have a tip for making these. One thing I've found that helps is lightly spraying my hands with non-stick cooking spray, such as Pam, and then the rice crispy mixture won't stick to my hands as I press them down in the pan. A person could even spray a bit on wax paper or on the spatula in order to make them spread out easier without all the stickiness. :-)
Thanks again,
B. |

Has Kellogs (in the US) reduced the butter content?
I made them yesterday from a box of cereal bought the same day and the recipe called for 3 Tbsp. butter, yet most online versions call for 4 Tbsp. They seemed to get real hard, real fast, so I'm assuming the reduced butter contributes to it. Microwaving for about 30 seconds on half power made them instantly soft again.
I usually buy them from the local grocery store and the ones they sell remain at a fairly consistent softness with nominal sealing. It's a "better" grocery and they are made in their in-house bakery, so I don't think there's too many space-age food chemicals.
I'm tempted to add in about 4-6 Tbsp. granulated lecithin to a batch to see if it will emulsify the butter with the marshmallows a little better. |

I just made the recipe. They look great. I had eaten some of the marshmallows. but it still seemed to work out ok. I used the chocolate
chips, and put them into two smaller sqare pans since I didn't have
a large one. (I also used the store brand crispy rice, was half the price, and tastes great to me).
Thank you , I remember these from the 1970s also. Cool.

I've since made two more batches using the traditional recipe of 4 Tbsp butter and have found they keep their softness a lot longer (they don't stay around the house more than a day or two).
Still haven't thrown any lecithin in, don't think its necessary with the right amount of butter. |
