Grinch Rice Krispie Treats

mini marshmallows

butter ((plus more for pan))

vanilla extract

rice krispie cereal

green food coloring

green candy melts

coconut oil

heart sprinkles

Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter; set aside.

In a large saucepan, combine the marshmallows and butter over medium heat. Cook until all the marshmallows are melted, making sure to stir frequently so they don&#39;t scorch.

Stir the vanilla extract and food coloring into the marshmallows. Once all the marshmallows are green, add in the rice krispie cereal and stir until the cereal is completely coated.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, and coat either your hands or a spatula with nonstick spray; press the mixture into an even layer.

Melt the candy melts according to package directions until it&#039;s completely smooth and lump free. Stir in the coconut oil until incorporated.

Pour the chocolate over the Rice Krispies and spread it in an even layer.

Sprinkle the hearts all over the top of the chocolate.

Place the pan in the fridge and allow the chocolate to set up for at least 20 minutes. Cut into squares and enjoy.

Rice Krispies

Spray an 9&quot;x 13&quot; (or 8&quot;x 8&quot; for thicker bars) casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

In a 4 quart sauce pan, melt butter on low heat. Do this slowly, you don’t want burned or brown butter here.

Once butter has melted, keep heat on low and add mini marshmallows.

Once marshmallows begin to soften and melt, add peanut butter.

At this point, you will need to constantly stir the mixture so the peanut butter does not burn and the marshmallows can evenly melt (won’t take too long, about 5 minutes or so).

Once, mixture is combined and melted, turn off heat and remove pan from stove.

Add rice krispy cereal to sauce pan and stir until evenly coated with mixture. This is sticky stuff so do your best to get it all combined.

Pour mixture into casserole dish (it will look very loose.) Spray your hand with some nonstick cooking spray and pat down the mixture until firmly compacted.

Allow 30-45 minutes for treats to set up.

Rice Krispies cereal

First, brown your butter in your pan or dutch oven. To do this, set stove to medium heat. Melt butter, stirring frequently, until butter is a dark gold/amber color. It should smell nutty and there might be little bits of brown in your butter—that&#39;s all good! This step adds lots of flavor but it is optional if you&#39;d rather simply melt the butter.

Once the butter is browned (or just melted), add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Stir until well combined. Turn down heat to medium-low.

Add 10 ounces of mini marshmallows to the pot and stir with your butter/milk mixture until everything is melted and smooth.

Add your Rice Krispies and stir until thoroughly combined. If needed, you can also pour the melted marshmallow/butter mixture into a large mixing bowl containing the cereal if you do not have a dutch oven or pot large enough to hold and stir everything together.

Then, add the remaining 6 ounces of marshmallows—you want these to keep their shape to add some texture, so be sure the Rice Krispie mixture isn&#39;t so hot it will melt your marshmallows.

Carefully pour the Rice Krispie mixture into a buttered 9x13 dish. Take a piece of parchment paper and run it over the top of the dish to perfectly smooth out the Rice Krispies.

Wait at least an hour until Rice Krispie treats are thoroughly cooled, then cut into desired number of servings. If you want GIANT treats, I think 9 is perfect.

I love this recipe! There's always different cereals in our house and once we get to the last quarter of the boxes, I mix them all up and make "random cereal treats"! My husband always hovers to makes sure he gets the pot to get the bits leftover at the end. lol!

I used the fruit loops with marshmallows and it turned out great

The BEST treats to take to a party! Even better than any bakery bought marshmallow bars!

This recipe really gives a great texture and softness to the often hard and dry rice crispy treat. You can easily modify it with different add ins and flavors and cereals (like flavored Chex  ). Crushed or powder freeze dried fruit with a few whole pieces, PB powder, naturally flavored extracts, etc. work great, too. Heck I’ve even used a little jam in my fruit flavored ones. Just add a little extra sweetened condensed milk or butter to offset any “dryness” if you feel it’s needed. I just made a blueberry and blackberry flavored one tonight.

These are fantastic! This is my go-to recipe now.

These were the best rice Krispy treats ever! I don’t even know how to describe them other than gone in 60 seconds! Making them again as I type this.

I love this recipe so much.
I made them and told everyone I know how great they are.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Yes, I think you could sub the rice krispies for any similar sized cereal. Sounds delish!

These were delish! The whole marshmallows added toward the end is a nice touch. The kids helped top them with sprinkles. They were gone in 24 hours!

Thanks for this recipe, will be trying it out with my kids this summer

At last! A rice crispy treat recipe that actually uses the whole box of rice crispies! Thank you so much.

So I wanted to at least drop in my recommendation for those that enjoy dense rice krispie treats. I honestly had never made any before, and I settled on giving this recipe a try. My fiance very much prefers hers dense, so I followed the instructions exactly, but I did break up/smash the mixture in my Dutch oven a bit. Once in the pan, I absolutely pressed the mixture down as much as I could.

She LOVED them. I took extras to a part, and everyone kept raving about them. So my suggestion is to just smash/press it into the pan to get a good dense treat.

Yes, especially after the marshmallow cream part has completely cooled.

BEST recipe !!!  I could never get my bars soft but this recipe was exactly what I needed.  I don’t leave reviews, but this one was worth it.
