My grandma would always be ready for my visits with four simple ingredients. Rice krispie cereal, mini marshmallows, peanut butter and stick butter. the marshmallow would be way too hot for me to go near during the mixing process, so my job was always to measure out all of the ingredients. Rice krispies treats always made me smile and they still do to this day.
When my grandma, grandpa and I would make these treats, we each had a job. I would measure, my grandpa would stir (mostly because my grandma said he was stronger), and my grandma would mush them into the square Tupperware
Here is my recipe for rice krispie treats...
- 4 cups of mini marshmallows (fill the measuring cup to the top, don't stop at 4!)
- 1/2 stick of salted butter
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 cups rice krispie cereal
microwave for about 3 minutes, but sand by the microwave and watch. As soon as the marshmallows rise up and almost touch the top of the microwave, open the door to stop cooking. Pull the bowl out and start mixing (slowly as it is extremely hot and could splash and stick to you). Add the peanut butter and allow the heat to soften it. Start to slowly pour in the rice krispies while you mix. If the mixture seams to be getting too dry, stop adding the cereal. I like mine to come out gooey and sticky. Yumm!
While the rice krispy mix is still warm, pour it into a tupawear. (I use a 9x9) Then put a little butter on your hands and mash the mixture down until it is evenly compressed.
That's it! Such a simple recipe that only takes a few minutes.
When I was a little girl, my grandma used to cut them into little squares, but now that I am an adult, I love to pull it apart...
Now they sell the already made rice kripsie treats
