Festive Rice Krispies Treats
Wednesday, July 13, 2016
This is seriously the easiest dessert recipe I've ever tried and it goes a long way for entertaining guests. I made a pink and blue batch for Kate's gender reveal party and then another festive batch for the 4th of July weekend.
The Original Rice Krispies Treats recipe on the back of the cereal box is more or less what I followed
but I doubled the ingredients since it was for a large group and added a
few more marshmallows. Of course the
colorful topping is optional but adds a festive touch for certain occasions.
Serving Size: approx 30 bars
Ingredients:
25 oz large marshmallows
12 cups Rice Krispies cereal
6 tbsp butter
6 tbsp butter
Pearlescent sugar or sprinkles
Cooking spray
Two 15-inch baking sheets
What To Do:
Melt butter in a large nonstick saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir frequently until completely melted and then remove from the burner.
Add Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal to the mixture and stir until the ingredients are well mixed together.
Use cooking spray or butter to grease the baking sheets. Also grease the spatula or spoon you will be using to prevent the mixture from sticking as you transfer over to the baking sheet.
Carefully transfer the mixture over to the baking sheets and use greased wax paper to press mixture evenly.

Let it cool for about 10 minutes before adding the topping of your choice.
Side note: I'm not a baker and rarely make anything of the dessert variety so my initial thought process was to use food coloring to do a batch of pink and then a batch of blue treats to go with the gender reveal theme. Thank goodness I couldn't find pink food coloring and I stumbled on those gorgeous pink and blue sugar crystals because everyone's mouths at the party would have been "undelightfully" colorful.
Once completely cooled, cut into 2-inch squares and they are ready to be served!
What I love the most about this recipe is that is takes just under 30 minutes to complete because it requires no baking time. And, not to mention, they are a light and delicious treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Enjoy!
