Have you ever wondered how to make Rice Krispie treats that stay soft and aren’t too sticky? I definitely have! For YEARS I have been hunting for the perfect rice crispy treat recipe – something sweet, not too buttery, and something that stays soft without being too sticky.
I am excited to share with you a recipe that produces the best, most delicious Rice Krispie treats I have ever eaten (and eaten, and eaten)! The secret lies in one special ingredient that will have you saying, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
How To Make The Best Rice Krispie Treats
Normal Start – Traditionally, Rice Krispies are made by mixing melted butter, marshmallows, and Rice Krispie cereal and this recipe is no different. You’ll melt the butter in the pan like you normally do and then add in the mini marshmallows.
Secret Ingredient – The secret to THESE delicious little treats is the addition of marshmallow cream! You’ll only need 1/2 cup and you’ll add it to the pot when you add in the marshmallows. The marshmallow cream makes these Rice Krispie treats the chewiest, softest and most delicious you’ll ever eat! I promise you’ll never go back to making these treats in any other way!
Classic Finish – Once you’ve melted everything, you’ll add in the Rice Krispie cereal and mix everything until everything is coated. You’ll press the mixture into a pan and then let it cool before serving.
Storage – If by some miracle you don’t eat the whole pan immediately, be sure to keep them covered so they don’t dry out.

These are the best! Can’t say no to them.
LOL, you and me both!
Rice Krispie Treats are such a treasure! Great recipe! Love the variation of using the marshmallow cream! Wonderfully chewy!
I know, I love how soft and chewy they are!
Yep, definitely the best! I actually use margarine since my son is allergic to dairy and it still turned out the same way.
I’m so glad you enjoyed them and thanks for sharing that great substitution idea!
