Rice Krispies 3 Ways
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 5 cups Miniature Marshmallows
- 5 cups Rice Cereal
- 3/4 cups Crushed Sandwich Cookies
- 1/2 cups Freeze-dried Strawberries
- 1/4 cups Shredded Sweetened Coconut
- For simple rice krispie treats: In a nonstick skillet, melt butter (see below for browned butter version).
- Add marshmallows and mix until smooth.
- Add rice cereal and stir until evenly coated with marshmallows.
- Transfer the mixture to a buttered 9x9 pan and let cool.
- For cookies and cream: Follow the basic method above, adding crushed sandwich cookies along with rice cereal.
- Transfer to the pan and let cool.
- For strawberries and cream: Follow the basic method above, adding freeze-fried strawberries and coconut along with rice cereal.
- Transfer to the pan and let cool.
- For browned butter: Instead of simply melting the butter in the basic method, take it a step further and brown the butter before adding the marshmallows.
- (To brown the butter, continue heating the butter over low to medium heat until it starts smelling like toffee and you see brown bits in the butter.)
- Doing this gives the treats a nutty flavor and makes them extra delicious!
