Gourmet Rice Krispies Treats

Gourmet Rice Krispies Treats are super easy and fun to make with the whole family! Below I have provided 3 popular flavors: Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich, Birthday Cake, and Salted Caramel.

Although, these may sound like bizarre flavors to make Rice Krispies treats out of, trust me when I say that they are out of this world! I specifically chose these flavors as they are perfect for all ages and occasions.

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup butter (2 sticks)
• 3 (16 oz) bags miniature marshmallows
• 16 Cups Rice Krispies cereal

Prep:

• Using nonstick spray, coat the bottom of a 9″-by-13″ baking pan.
• Layer a sheet of wax paper over the nonstick spray.

Instructions:

• Melt butter over low heat in a large pot.
• Add miniature marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Then remove pot from heat.
• Stir in Rice Krispies cereal until fully coated.

 

** The ingredient measurements for each of the recipes below make one large batch of Gourmet Rice Krispies Treats.
