Easy Kid Friendly Rice Crisp Cereal Treats


Looking for a fun, kid friendly treat that the whole family can enjoy? Why not try making rice crisp cereal bars? This quick and easy kid friendly recipe has been around for almost 70 years.

The beauty about making rice crips cereal bars is you only need three ingredients: rice crisp cereal, marshmallows and butter. Rice crips cereal treats require minimal supervision (to melt the butter) and that's what makes it a kid friendly recipe.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups of rice crisp cereal

  • 10 ounces marshmallows (regular or mini)

  • 3 tablespoons butter (salted)



  • Cooking Directions

  • In a large pot or large saucepan, melt salted butter over very low heat

  • Add the marshmallows a little at a time - stirring constantly

  • Continue stirring until the marshmallows are completely melted

  • Remove from heat

  • Stir in the rice crisp cereal until it is well coated with the marshmallow/butter mixture



  • Preparation

  • Spray a 9 x13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray



  • Add a layer of parchment paper or wax paper to the 9 x 13 in baking pan. Make sure that paper overflows the pan by 6" inches on each side (optional)**

  • Using a buttered spatula. mold the crisp cereal/marshmallow mixture into a 9 x 13 in baking pan. Make certain the mixture is spread evenly

  • Let cool

  • Cut into squares when the mixture cools.



  • Yield
    Makes 24 squares.

    ** using the parchment paper or wax paper makes it easy to pull the crisp cereal mixture out of the baking pan.
