Classic Crispy Rice Treats Recipes

RICE CRISPY TREATS

Steps:

• Serve and enjoy! Rice Krispies Treats were invented in 1939 by Malitta Jensen and Mildred Day at the Kellogg Company Home economics department as a fundraiser for Camp Fire Girls. Kellogg's began to commercially produce plain and chocolate-based treats under the trademark brand names of "Rice Krispies Treats" in the U.S. and Mexico in 1995; however, other manufacturers had offered similar products under variant names (such as "Crisped Rice Treats" or "Marshmallow Treats") prior to this. If you just need to order some to be sent to a friend and want it to be over the top, how about checking out The Crispery ? They make flavors like Chocolate Candy Buttons Crispycake, Chocolate Caramel Crispycake, and Peppermint Twist Crispycake. Maybe they will inspire you to make your own crazy creations―and getting the kids in on this is a surefire way to make an hour in the kitchen a lot of fun.

CLASSIC CRISPY RICE TREATS

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each of the longer sides. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
• Working quickly, add the rice cereal to the pot and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and press into an even, compact layer. (Spray your hands with a little cooking spray to keep them from sticking when pressing the cereal mixture into the pan). Decorate with toppings if using (see Cook's Note).
• Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into 24 squares. Store the cereal treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

CRISPY RICE TREATS

Steps:

• Melt the butter over low heat in a large pot. Stir in the marshmallows and cook until fully melted and no marshmallow white remains. Stir in the peanut butter until combined. Stir in the cereal until distributed evenly through the marshmallow mixture. Pour out onto a lightly greased rectangular baking dish (9 by 13 inches). Smooth out the top of the treats by moistening your hands with a little water and using the palms of your hand to press down gently. Don't press down too hard or else your treats will be too dense. Set aside to cool.
• Once the treats have cooled, melt the chocolate over low heat. Cut the treats into even squares and quickly just shallowly dip the top side of the treats into the chocolate. Turn chocolate side up and set in a baking dish or on a rack until set.

WORLD'S BEST RICE KRISPIES® TREATS

Steps:

• Grease an 8x8x2-inch pan with cooking spray.
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add sweetened condensed milk. Stir with a rubber spatula until butter and milk are uniformly combined and small bubbles are forming in the center of the mixture, about 2 minutes. (When you first begin stirring they will look separated.) Add the bag of marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth. Add vanilla extract and salt and stir again. Remove from heat.
• Stir rice cereal and remaining cup of marshmallows into the pot to combine. Transfer to the prepared pan and press down lightly with a sheet of plastic wrap; don't pack them down too hard or they will lose their inherently soft and gooey texture. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
• Let set up on the counter for at least 1 hour. Cut into 16 squares.

THE ORIGINAL RICE KRISPIES TREATS SQUARES

• Working quickly, add rice krispies cereal, and stir until the cereal is well coated.
• Using a buttered spatula or waxed paper, press the mixture evenly into a greased 13 by 9 by 2 inch pan (or whatever pan you have on hand).
• When the treats are cooled, cut into squares.
• Serve, and enjoy!

STRAWBERRY RICE CRISPY TREATS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the strawberry powder: Add the freeze-dried strawberries to a small food processor and grind into a fine powder. Use a fine-mesh sieve to sift the powder into a resealable container, then return the larger chunks from the sieve to the food processor and grind once more. Sift the powder into the container again, discarding any seeds or large chunks that won't break down. You should have about ¼ cup. The powder will keep in the sealed container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Make the rice crispy treats: Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper (or grease the pan with nonstick spray).
• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and salt and stir frequently until the marshmallows are completely melted and incorporated, 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the freeze-dried strawberry powder and red food coloring until the mixture is homogeneous in color.
• Add the crispy rice cereal and stir until evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
• Transfer the crispy rice mixture to the prepared pan and spread in an even layer. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Use the parchment to lift the rice crispy treats from the pan and set on a cutting board. Cut into 8 even pieces.
• Prepare the decorations: Add the ruby chocolate to a small, microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals until beginning to melt, then stir with a spatula to melt completely. Transfer to a piping bag.
• Snip a small hole in the tip of the piping bag, then pipe the melted chocolate onto the rice crispy treats. Top each with a whole freeze-dried strawberry before the chocolate sets.
• Let the chocolate set before serving, at least 15 minutes. The rice crispy treats will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Enjoy!
