Notes
FAQs
How long do Rice Krispie Treats last?They will keep well for 2-3 days in a resealable bag on the counter or up to 6 weeks in the freezer.
Why are my rice krispie treats hard?The butter and marshmallows need to be cooked over low heat and melted to prevent them from drying out. It may take a little longer but the result will be crisper lighter treats.
Why didn't my butter-marshmallow mixture melt well?Make sure you are using fresh marshmallows. Old marshmallows will tend to form one big clump instead of a nice smooth, creamy mixture.
