Ultimate Bakery Style Rice Krispies Treats Recipe | What Is The Recipe Of Ultimate Bakery Style Rice Krispies Treats
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons 142 grams unsalted butter
- 20 cups 850 grams miniature marshmallows, divided
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 cups 317 grams Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
-
Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with foil, then coat with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
-
In a large saucepan or stockpot, melt the butter and 16 cups of the miniature marshmallows over low heat until the marshmallows are just melted. Stir in the salt and vanilla to combine. Remove the pan from the heat, add the Rice Krispies and mix until it is completely and evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture. Stir in the additional 4 cups of miniature marshmallows.
-
Turn the mixture out into the prepared pan and, using a wooden spoon or spatula that has been coated in non-stick cooking spray, press the mixture firmly into a packed, even layer. Allow to set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Using the foil, remove the treats from the pan and slice into squares. Leftover Rice Krispies treats should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips for Bakery-Style Rice Krispies Treats:
- Use Extra Marshmallows: Adding extra marshmallows (especially at the end) makes the treats extra gooey and soft.
- Don’t Over-Press: When pressing the mixture into the pan, press gently to keep the treats light and airy. Over-pressing can make them too dense and hard.
- Butter vs. Margarine: Always use unsalted butter for the best flavor. Margarine may not give you the same richness.
- Add-Ins: For a more indulgent treat, you can mix in chocolate chips, mini M&Ms, or even drizzles of chocolate on top once they have cooled.
- Chill for a Firm Texture: If you prefer firmer Rice Krispies treats, chill them in the fridge for about 30 minutes before cutting them into squares.
- For a Bakery Look: For the classic bakery look, press the mixture into a slightly thicker layer. You can also top the treats with a light drizzle of melted chocolate or some sprinkles.
Variations:
- Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats: Add cocoa powder (about 2-3 tablespoons) to the melted butter and marshmallows for a chocolatey twist. You can also mix in chocolate chips or drizzle the treats with melted chocolate.
- Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats: Stir in 1/2 cup of peanut butter with the butter and marshmallows for a rich, nutty flavor.
- Caramel Rice Krispies Treats: Drizzle caramel sauce over the cooled treats for an added layer of sweetness and flavor.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve these treats as a snack for kids or adults, or wrap them individually and give them as a sweet gift.
- They are perfect for birthday parties, bake sales, or just as a fun treat on the weekend.
These bakery-style Rice Krispies treats are sure to be a hit, with their perfectly chewy, gooey texture and rich marshmallow flavor. Enjoy!
