The Ultimate Marshmallow Masterpiece: A Game-Changing Rice Krispie Treat Recipe
When it comes to the perfect Rice Krispie treat, there’s one ingredient that reigns supreme: the marshmallow. Those fluffy, sugary pillows of goodness are the real stars of the show. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good marshmallow?
The Perfect Balance
But, as delightful as marshmallows are, too many can lead to a sticky, gooey mess. It’s all about finding the perfect balance. That’s why our recipe adds an extra twist to the classic formula. By folding in extra marshmallows at the end, we ensure that the treats stay crunchy and the marshmallows remain whole and pillowy.
A Recipe for Success
Our Double Marshmallow Rice Krispie Treats are a masterclass in texture and flavor. With 15 delicious squares per batch, these babies are perfect for snacking, sharing, or hoarding (we won’t judge). And the best part? They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days when stored at room temperature.
The Magic Happens
So, what’s the secret to these irresistible treats? It all starts with a simple combination of ingredients:
- 11 cups miniature marshmallows
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), plus extra for buttering the spatula and dish
- 8 cups puffed rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
The Method Behind the Madness
To create these marshmallow marvels, follow these easy steps:
- Butter Up: Coat the bottom of a metal spatula and a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with butter. Set aside.
- Melt and Mix: Combine 8 cups of marshmallows and the butter in a medium pot. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth (about 8 minutes).
- Add the Crunch: Remove from heat and stir in cereal until well coated.
- The Final Touch: Add remaining 3 cups marshmallows and stir just until mixed.
- Shape Up: Immediately turn the mixture into the prepared baking dish and use the buttered spatula to uniformly flatten.
- Let it Set: Let set up until room temperature and firm, about 45 minutes.
- Cut and Serve: Cut into 15 (2-1/2-inch-by-2-1/2-inch) squares and serve.
