Do you have a favorite treat from your childhood? Aside from no-bake cookies, one of my favorite treats to enjoy as a kid was homemade rice krispie treats.


So today, I’m throwing it back with a simple and easy treat for you – this rice krispie treat recipe! These bars are similar to the classic treat but made even better with a little extra butter and more marshmallows.


These bars also only require 4 simple ingredients, they’re no-bake and only take about 10 minutes to throw together. They’re easily one of my favorite treats to make when I’m short on time!


How To Make These Treats

To make these rice krispie treats, you’ll start by melting down some butter in a large saucepan. I suggest slicing the butter into tablespoon-sized pieces so that it will melt faster. Once the butter is melted, you’ll stir in some mini marshmallows.


This recipe uses one 16-ounce package of mini marshmallows, but before you add the marshmallows to the melted butter, you’ll want to remove two cups and set them aside to stir in later. Then, just add the rest of the marshmallows and stir continuously until the mixture is completely smooth. Once smooth, you’ll stir in a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

The next step is to stir in some Rice Krispies cereal (or crispy rice cereal). I like to stir in about half of the cereal first, mix it up, then stir in the rest. This makes it a little easier to stir the cereal into the melted marshmallow mixture instead of just adding it all at once.


Next, you’ll take the two cups of mini marshmallows you set aside and gently stir them in until just combined. Some of the marshmallows will melt a little as you stir them in, so only stir until they’re just incorporated into the mixture.

Then, just press the mixture down in a 9×13 pan that’s been lined with foil. The mixture will be pretty sticky, so I suggest spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray or greasing it with butter before you scoop the mixture into the pan.


It also helps to grease your hands before you press the mixture down into the pan, otherwise, it can be a sticky mess to work with.

The bars will need to cool for about 45 minutes before they’re ready to be sliced. You can leave these bars plain, add some sprinkles, or even slice them up and dip the bottom of each one in some chocolate!
