This is a fun, no-brainer recipe that brings back fond childhood memories. Let’s make some Rice Krispies treats! I happened to be strolling down the grocery aisle at Lidl’s when I saw a special for Red and White Krispies. It was a 2fer deal – I think Publix and Kroger will let you just buy one box, but Lidl requires the purchase of two. I have no idea what I’ll do with all this cereal (I suspect make at least one more batch of Rice Krispies Treats). I love that Kellogg’s started producing these specialized ‘seasonal’ Rice Krispies. I especially appreciate they recognize that many of us buy the cereal for the sole purpose of creating the treats!

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 bag marshmallows

Steps

  1. Grease a 9×12 pan
  2. Melt the butter in a LARGE saucepan over low heat
  3. Stir in marshmallows until melted
  4. Remove pan from heat and mix in the Rice Krispies until fully incorporated
  5. Dump mixture into pan. Use a greased piece of wax paper to settle

It cracks me up that I could type up this recipe without even reading it off the box. That being said, I did notice the Marshmallow bag’s version of the recipe had less butter (2 instead of 3 Tablespoons). This is a superbly sticky mess, so I figured more butter is better. Every time I make a recipe that calls for butter, I have to google if I should unsalted or salted butter. Sources say you can really use either, but if you have both, then use unsalted. I splurged on some fancy European unsalted butter that is extra creamy. I am curious if anyone will notice.

Here’s the final product. Now I have to get it out of the house before I eat it all.
