Jen’s No-Measure Rice Krispies Treats

Print Recipe
I created this recipe so there would be no measuring involved. I don’t even measure the vanilla; I just do two glugs and call it good. Here it is just as I wrote it down for my daughters.

Ingredients

  • 1 stick of butter
  • 2 10- ounce bags of marshmallows
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 12- ounce box of Rice Krispies
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Spray cooking spray on the following: the sides of a Dutch oven or other large saucepan, large spatula, 13”x9” pan, and large sheet of wax paper.
  • Add butter, marshmallows, & a pinch of salt to the Dutch oven and heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally with the greased spatula.
  • Once the marshmallows have melted, remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
  • Add the cereal to the marshmallow mixture and carefully fold to combine.
  • Pour the combined mixture into the greased pan. Place the greased sheet of wax paper over the mixture and use it to press into the pan; don’t press down super hard.

Notes

Tip: Although I have never tried it because I like to keep my Rice Krispies Treats simple, some people like to toast the cereal & brown the butter first.
