Rice Krispie Treats Recipe | Modernmealmakeover.com (2024)

Who doesn’t love a classic ooey gooey rice Krispie treat? This Rice Krispie Treats Recipe will take the classic rice Krispie to the next level by adding sweetened condensed milk! They become chewy, gooey, and stay soft for days! Our Rice Crispy Treats are the perfect dessert and a great addition to lunchboxes for kids and adults alike!

Ingredients for the softest Rice Krispie Treats

• Butter
• Sweetened Condensed Milk
• Vanilla Extract
• Mini Marshmallows
• Rice Krispy Cereal

How to make Rice Krispie Treats

In a large pot add butter and continue stirring until it is melted and bubbly. Add sweetened condensed milk and stir to combine. Bring the butter and sweetened condensed milk to a boil and cook for a minute or two, continually stirring. Add in vanilla extract and mini marshmallows and stir until marshmallows have fully melted. Remove from the heat and add in the rice krispie cereal and stir well to combine. Pour mixture into a lightly greased 9×13 baking pan and GENTLY press together with your fingers.

Let the Rice Krispy Treats set for 30-45 minutes before cutting into them. Enjoy!

Why Add Sweetened Condensed Milk

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely hate when my rice krispie treats become to hard to eat after only one day. By adding 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk to your recipe, your rice krispie treats will have an extra milky flavor, and will make your rice krispie treats stay soft for days. They are extra gooey and extra delicious. Once you make this recipe, you will never go back to the classic rice crispy treat recipe again!

Can You Freeze Rice Krispie Treats?

You sure can freeze Rice Krispies treats, allow them to cool completely, and cut them into individual servings. Then wrap each square in a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap. Then place them in a gallon-sized freezer bag or airtight container. They will say good in the freezer for up to 4 months.

   This is absolutely yummy. It doesnt last 2 hours at my house.
   I wanna ask how many big marshmallows equals 16oz?

     About 3 cups of jumbo marshmallows will equal 16 oz. If you have a food scale, that is the best way to measure it out.

     They are fine to be stored in an air tight container on the counter. No refrigeration needed.
