Who doesn't love Rice Krispy treats! During the Holidays my house sings snap, crackle and pop constantly.
I make these gooey little treats through out the year for birthdays, Easter, Christmas, and any time I need a marshmallow fix. I like any kind but my favorite are the treats made with a added ingredients. The most popular in my house is this recipe. My secret ingredient is;
Yep, Luck Charms marshmallows! The added marshmallow makes this treat so good! The marshmallows don't melt and are perfect for a little extra sweetness! You may be asking, do you really pick the marshmallows out of the cereal??
Yes I do, These treats are the best when you use the Lucky Charms cereal marshmallows. I have used these marshmallows in the past. It's something about the size and quantity of the mallows you get from a box of Lucky Charms that make them the best!
Drizzle some chocolate or make pops out of them; they are so versatile. I hope you enjoy this recipe and will have some more goodies top post as we move closer to the Holidays.
Rice Krispy Treats with a Twist
- 6 cups of Rice Krispies
- 1 bag of regular marshmallows or 6 cups of mini marshmallows
- 3 T of better
- 1 t of vanilla extract
- The Marshmallows from 1 box of Lucky Charms cereal (if you use the cereal mallows mentioned in the link above then use 2 C)
Melt butter in a sauce pan over low heat. Add the marshmallows and continue to melt over low heat. Line a 9x13 pan with wax paper and spray with oil; set aside.
Once melted, pull from heat and add vanilla and rice krispies and mix well.
Then add the Lucky Charms mallows and mix well.
Move mixture to the greased 9x13 pan. spread and let cool completely.
Once cooled you can pull the formed krispies out of the pan, paper and all. Lay on a flat surface and cut into pieces using a bread knife. I find this knife gives you the cleanest cut. Any other knife and the gooey krispies will end up sticking to the knife. Enjoy!
