FAQs
This can be a result of using too high heat. The melted marshmallows and butter should be cooked over low heat. While it does take longer to cook, it will make the this dessert soft and amazing.
Another culprit is overmixing. Do not overmix the cereal once added to the melted marshmallows and butter. Just slightly combine the marshmallows and stir until just combined.
Don’t overpack the mixture into the pan. You do not want to press down too firmly.
Store in an airtight container. The rice crispy treats do not need to be refrigerated. It is best to leave these treats at room temperature or they will become hard and not as gooey.
Cereal treats will last about 2 days stored at room temperature. Just make sure to store them inside an airtight container.
If you need them to last longer, freeze them inside a freezer container. They can be frozen up to 6 weeks. Just keep in mind that freezing will change the texture as they will not be as soft and gooey.
We recommend placing parchment paper in between the layers of bars when storing. This will help to prevent them from sticking.
Soggy rice krispies can be the result of using too much butter. It is important to use the exact amount the recipe calls for.
Also, different brands of margarine can have high contents of water and oil. This can result in a soggy final product. We prefer to use butter or a brand of margarine with a lower water content.
If you find that the mixture is too soft and unable to form bars, you likely used too many marshmallows. Resist the urge to use extra marshmallows or to toss an entire bag of marshmallows in the recipe.
While it is a very simple dessert to make, it must be precisely followed.
Either option is fine. Just make sure to use a microwave safe bowl in the microwave. If using the stove, you can use a large pot or large saucepan over medium heat.
You can line the pan in foil with a little bit of overhang. this will make it easy to remove and cut into bars.
Each recipe will indicate which type of butter is needed. I usually prefer unsalted if it does not specify. It is easier to control the sodium content when using unsalted butter.
