The Best Rice Krispie Treats are soft, buttery, and ooey-gooey delicious. This three-ingredient homemade Rice Krispie Treat Recipe is made in the microwave making it quick and easy.
Melt the butter in the microwave using a large microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments and stirring between each increment.
Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and microwave in 30-second increments and stirring between each increment.
Stir the Rice Krispie cereal into the melted marshmallow mixture. When you get to your 10th cup, only add one cup at a time. You want the Rice Krispie Treats to stick together but do not want them to become dense or dry.
Pour the Rice Krispie Treats onto a 12x17 baking sheet that's been greased or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Push the mixture out to the edges and then gently press the treats into the pan using your fingers, a spatula, or a piece of wax paper sprayed with cooking spray.
Let the Rice Krispie Treats set for a short time before cutting. Store covered at room temperature.
Notes
We use a silicone spatula sprayed with non-stick cooking spray to stir our treats together.Keep treats airy with the marshmallow mixture visible by not adding too much cereal or packing it too densly.
