Tips for Making the Best Rice Krispie Treats
Prevent Sticking. When you are making these line your baking dish with greased parchment paper. If you don’t have parchment paper on hand make sure you grease your baking dish well. I use nonstick baking spray to grease my baking dishes and parchment paper.
Do not pack rice krispie treats mixture in to the pan. To achieve soft, and chewy while being crispy marshmallow rice krispie treats you want to be gentle when pressing the mixture into your baking pan.
Use a silicone spatula. I find it best to use a silicone spatula or spoon and spray it generously with non stick spray. Then I gently spread with out pushing down hard, the cereal and marshmallow mixture into my baking dish. This gives the perfect rice krispie treats with out them being hard.

I love how festive and Easter springtime these treats are. I don’t make rice crispy treats (my kids have grown and flown) and everyone is trying to cut down on sugar, however it’s fun to splurge once in a while. My children gather and help make holidays fun for my parents (95). So….I thought I would add something different into the usual dessert repertoire to enjoy while everyone is decorating easter eggs. Thank you for the recipe.
