Notes
- The classic Rice Krispies Treats Cereal was on the dryer side so it stays crispy in milk, you don't want to add too much extra butter or marshmallows.
- This recipe makes about six cups of rice krispies treats cereal. Double if you're looking for a larger portion or want lots of leftovers.
- I used the brand name Rice Krsipies for this recipe, but any brand will work.
- Use parchment paper and a nonstick spatula to break up your mixture into smaller clusters.
- Make sure to stir every 10 minutes or so while it bakes so everything dries out evenly.
- Allow the cereal to cool completely before serving, and store in an air tight container or ziplock bag.
- If you still have larger pieces once your cereal has cooled, use your hands or spatula to break it into smaller clusters.
