Recipe: New & Improved Rice Krispie Treats
Summary: December 24 - A Cookie A Day Until Christmas! There’s nothing really “New & Improved”, I just wanted to get your attention. I don’t know about you, but I’m enjoying my Christmas Eve and not stressing over cookies. I have never met anyone that didn’t like Rice Krispie treats, but if you’re bored with them, try some of the optional mix-in’s. Merry Christmas!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 – 10 ounce bag of marshmallows
- 6 cups rice cereal
Instructions
- Melt butter in large pan. Add marshmallows and melt, stirring occasionally.
- At this point, you would add any food color or flavorings.
- Mix in cereal. Press into greased 9 x 13 pan.
Variations
Mix-in’s:
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract and 6 candy canes, crushed – Kelly’s idea!
- ½ cup peanut butter and top with a layer of melted chocolate – Some inspired person’s idea!
- Substitute corn flakes, add green food coloring and red hots – Julie’s idea!
