Tips for success

  • Use fresh marshmallows — stale ones do not melt smoothly.
  • A 10-oz bag of marshmallows to 6 cups cereal is the classic chewy ratio; more marshmallows = softer bars.
  • Press into the pan with a buttered spatula or parchment — do not over-compact or bars turn rock hard.

Frequently asked questions

What cereal works for rice krispie treats?+

Crisp rice cereal (any brand) — the recipe does not require a trademarked name on the box.

Why are my rice krispie treats hard?+

Usually too much cereal or cooking the marshmallow too long. Melt marshmallows just until smooth, then fold in cereal off heat.
