Delicious Treats To Make On The Homestead

Want to know how to make homemade rice krispie treats? The recipe for rice krispie treats and the instructions are simple. They do not take much time to make, and are well worth the effort. The difference between a freshly made treat and a prepackaged one is incredible. You will want to make them again and again.

Ingredients for Rice Krispie Treats:

• 1/4 cup of butter
• 5 cups of marshmallows, fresh
• 5 1/2 cups of cereal (any kind of puffed cereal works––rice cereal is the original kind but Cocoa Puffs, Cheerios, and Fruity Pebbles are also delicious)
• Softened margarine/butter

Step 1: Prepare your pan

Either line a rectangular baking pan with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.

I like to use parchment paper so I can easily lift the Rice Krispie treats out of the tray so it is easier to cut them.

Step 2: Melt 1/4 cup Butter

Using a large saucepan (you will be adding more ingredients to this in step 2 and 3) melt butter over low heat. Turn the heat off when it is melted.

Step 3: Add 5 cups marshmallows

Add 5 cups of marshmallows to the melted butter. The heat should be off until you add all of the marshmallows. Once you have added all 5 cups of marshmallows, turn the heat back on low.

Step 4: Melt marshmallows

Over low heat, melt the marshmallows. Stir them as they melt. Do not overheat.

Step 5: Add 5 1/2 cups Rice Krispie cereal to the mix

Turn the heat off. Measure 5 1/2 cups of Rice Krispie cereal and add to the melted butter and marshmallow mixture.

Measure 5 1/2 cups of rice krispie cereal and add to the marshmallow mixture

Your pan will need to be big enough to stir the mixture.A medium saucepan should work.

Step 6: Stir the mixture until evenly combined

Use a spoon to mix the marshmallow mixture with the cereal. Stir it until combined well. Stir the mixture together. Scoop the mixture from the bottom to begin mixing. Slowly combine these ingredients.

It only takes a couple of minutes to mix these together.

Step 7: Pour the mix into your baking pan

Pour the mixture right into your baking pan. You will need to use a spoon to get all of the mix out of the pan. While the mixture is still hot, pour it into your pan lined with paper or coated in nonstick spray.

Step 8: Use your spoon to spread the mixture across the pan

Spread the rice krispie treat mixture evenly across the pan with a flat spoon.

Step 9: Using parchment or wax paper, press the treats flat

You will need to cut a piece of parchment paper or wax paper the size of your pan. You will use the paper the flatten and even your rice krispie treats in the pan. he paper allows you to get the treats smooth without sticking. Using your hand to press them down, make sure the rice krispie treats get to the sides and corners of you pan.

Place a piece of cut wax paper or parchment over the treats

Step 10: Allow rice krispie treats to cool at least 15 minutes

Step 11: Cut into squares with pizza cutter or knife

Cut into even squares or rectangles by first cutting one direction, then the other.

Step 12: Separate and serve

Serve your rice krispie treats while they are fresh. You will be amazed how good they are when freshly made. Delicious, gooey goodness.
