- Don’t skip the parchment paper. This helps with cleanup and makes it so easy. To easily lift treats out of the pan, use parchment paper.
- Use Fresh Ingredients – When making these treats always use fresh marshmallows and cereal. The treats will taste better and last a lot longer.
- Vanilla Extract – Adding vanilla extract adds so much flavor to these treats
- Gently Press into Pan – Make sure to use your hands or spatula to press into pan so the treats remain soft.
What are my Rice Krispie Treats falling apart?
The most common cause is using too many marshmallows. This will cause them to be soft and fall apart.
Resist the urge to add extra marshmallows because the results will not be the same. We recommend following the recipe as listed. This ensure that your adding the right amount of marshmallows and cereal.
Another culprit is too much cereal that causes the mixture to be dry. This will make the recipe crumble and fall apart.
How Long do they Last?
If you store the rice krispie treats in a container, they will last about 3-4 days. Ours never last that long though because we eat them so fast. Also, use wax paper in between the treats to keep them from sticking.
Frequently Asked Questions

Store any leftover Rice Krispie treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. If on a cookie tray cover with plastic wrap.
I do not recommend freezing this recipe. It will change the texture of the final product and cause it to harden.
When melting the butter and marshmallows, we recommend melting over low heat. Heating this mixture over high heat or too fast causes the mixture to make the treats hard.
