Rice Krispies Treats Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Why are my homemade rice krispie treats soggy? ›

Too much marshmallow and butter can make a super sticky, wet or soggy slice, while too little makes a hard, dry or crumbly one. I recommend using a baking scale for my recipe to get the ratio JUST right, creating the perfect chewy but crispy Rice Krispie Squares. Melted marshmallow = sticky mess.

What happens if you put too much butter in Rice Krispies Treats? If you put too much butter in rice krispies treats they will become oily, the cereal will soak up the butter and the treats will become soggy, rather than crispy.

could be because you're trying to cut them when they're too warm. Let them cool to room temperature and try again. If they're still not setting, the mixture did not contain enough cereal. Rice Krispies are soft and gooey in the pan, but quickly set up the baking dish.

INGREDIENTS: Rice, sugar, salt, barley malt extract, niacin, iron, vitamin B6, riboflavin, thiamin, folic acid, vitamin D, vitamin B12.

Recipe Notes

* Make sure your marshmallows are fresh. Stale, hard marshmallows won't result in nice, chewy bars. ** Any brand is fine, but be sure the cereal you use is fresh. Stale cereal will make for stale-tasting Rice Crispy Treats.

Want to know the secret? Grease your spoon or spatula before combining the melted ingredients with the cereal so the mixture doesn't stick. Then, use a piece of waxed paper to press the mixture into the pan evenly with your hand so it doesn't adhere to the wooden spoon or spatula.

What about Rice Crispy Treats that have marshmallows in them, are they Haram too? Yes, they also use gelatin from pork. All pig products like pork are Haram (forbidden) for Muslims to eat.

Once you've cut up your extra rice crispy treats, stack them in an airtight container. Place a sheet of wax paper in between each layer to keep them from sticking, then seal the top. You can store the container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze the treats for up to 6 weeks.

They are mostly high-glycemic carbs (meaning the type that spike energy quickly), Collingwood says. Other than some iron and B vitamins (thanks to the fortified cereal they're made with), they have little nutritional value. You'll still need to focus on a healthy diet throughout the rest of your day, Collingwood says.

- Beef or pork gelatin may be used in all varieties of Kellogg's® Rice Krispies Treats® bars, including Kellogg's® Rice Krispies Treats® made with Whole Grain bars. - Beef gelatin is used in Pop-Tarts® Toaster Pastries. Because the gelatin is used in the icing, our unfrosted varieties do not contain any gelatin.

Do Rice Krispies treats have eggs? ›

No, Rice Krispie Treats do not contain eggs. The recipe to make Rice Krispie Treats at home uses Rice Krispie cereal, a 12-ounce bag of miniature marshmallows and a few tablespoons of melted butter.

If you melt the marshmallows too fast, it might result in a Rice Kripsy treat that is harder and crunchy than chewy. Take your time and let the butter and marshmallows melt slowly. Use an 8×8 or slightly smaller pan. Use a small and deep pan if you want thick and chewy rice Krispy treats.

Allow to thaw at room temperature before serving. Make-ahead- I truly believe the best rice krispies are the ones fresh from the pan but if you want to make them in advance remember to make them no more than 3 days before you plan to serve them or freeze them right away.

Stale cereal can lead to a less-than-crispy result, so always ensure your cereal is fresh and at its best. 3. Gentle Mixing: When stirring the melted marshmallows or chocolate into the cereal, be gentle and avoid overmixing. This will help keep the airiness and crunch intact.

To try this hack, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spread the cereal evenly across a baking sheet, then place it in the oven and bake for around five minutes. (Depending on the kind of cereal, it may need a few more minutes.)
