Festive Rice Crispy Treats
Delicious and festive rice crispy treats that are simple to whip up during this holiday season
Equipment
- dutch oven or large pot
- wooden spoon
- 9x13 baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- 12 oz rice crispy cereal (or 10 cups)
- ½ cup holiday baking chips plus more for garnish
Instructions
- In a dutch oven, melt a stick of butter on medium heat.
- Once the butter is completely melted, add in the entire bag of mini marshmallows.
- After the butter and mini marshmallows are completely liquified, remove from heat. Add the rice crispy cereal to the pot and stir. I typically try to leave the powdery cereal out of it, but if it doesn't bother you, go for it. If you get a larger box of cereal, I believe the measured amount of rice crispy cereal would be about 10 cups.
- Once you've stirred in the cereal until its gooey and you want to just eat it with a spoon out of the pot, add in the baking chips.Since the rice crispy treat mixture is still hot, these will melt a little bit.
- Butter a baking dish, then add in the rice crispy treats to the dish. I typically sprinkle a little extra baking chips on top just because they're cute and festive.
- Cool until set, about 20 minutes. I typically can't wait too long, so I feel 20 minutes is generous enough.
- Serve with love!
