Step Three: Transfer The Mixture
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, and press down. Melt your white chocolate wafers, then drizzle on the treats. Garnish with additional vanilla wafers.
Step Four: Serving
Let the treats set for about 20-30 minutes before serving.
Pro Tips For Making Rice Krispies Treats
- Use Fresh Marshmallows: Fresh marshmallows will melt more easily, resulting in a smoother and more consistent texture for your treats. If your marshmallows are old or stale, they may not melt properly.
- Use Low Heat: When melting your marshmallows and butter, use low heat to prevent them from burning or sticking to the pan. Stir the mixture constantly to ensure even melting.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can produce hard and dense rice krispie treats. Once the cereal is coated with the marshmallow mixture, stop stirring and quickly transfer the mixture to the pan.
- Use a Greased Pan: Grease your pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent the treats from sticking to the pan. You can also line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Press Firmly: Use a spoon or spatula to press the mixture firmly into the pan to create an even layer. Pressing firmly will also help the treats hold their shape.
- Add Mix-ins: To add flavor and texture to your treats, add mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit. Just mix them in quickly before transferring the mixture to the pan.
- Let Cool Completely: Allow the treats to cool completely before slicing to ensure they hold their shape. If you cut them while they’re still warm, they may crumble or fall apart.
Following these pro tips, you can achieve delicious and perfectly shaped rice krispie treats every time.
How To Store
To store rice krispie treats, follow these simple steps:
- Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature. Cutting the treats while they are still warm can cause them to lose shape.
- Once the treats have cooled, cut them into desired sizes with a sharp knife.
- Place the treats in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag.
- Store the treats at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to a week, but they may become slightly harder.
Can You Freeze Rice Krispie Treats?
Yes, you can freeze rice krispie treats. Here’s how:
- Once the treats have cooled completely, cut them into desired sizes.
- Wrap each treat tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped treats in a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag.
- Label the container or bag with the date to track how long they’ve been frozen.
- Place the container or bag in the freezer and store for 2-3 months.
When you’re ready to eat the treats, remove them from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before unwrapping and serving. Freezing rice krispie treats can cause them to become slightly harder than they were before, but they will still be delicious and enjoyable to eat.
