TIPS FOR THE BEST RICE KRISPIE TREATS
WHY DO MY RICE KRISPIE TREATS GET HARD?
Hard or tough Rice Krispie treats are the result of heating the marshmallows and butter too quickly. Don’t crank the heat too much. Melt the butter and marshmallows over low heat.
HOW DO YOU KEEP RICE KRISPIE TREATS FROM STICKING TO THE PAN?
Spray or coat a piece of aluminum foil with butter or non-stick cooking spray or use a piece of wax paper in the pan.
HOW LONG WILL RICE KRISPIE TREATS LAST?
Rice Krispie treats can last up to 6 weeks if frozen right away.
