Rice Krispie Balls are a fun and tasty treat made from Rice Krispies cereal, marshmallows, and butter, formed into bite-sized balls. Here’s a simple way to make them:
Ingredients:
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows (or 4 cups mini marshmallows)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Optional: Add-ins like chocolate chips, sprinkles, or peanut butter for extra flavor.
Instructions:
- Melt the Mixture: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Combine with Cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until the cereal is well coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Form the Balls: Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then use your hands (but be careful, it can be sticky!) to form small balls about the size of a golf ball. If you want to add chocolate chips or sprinkles, you can mix them in before forming the balls.
- Let Them Set: Place the Rice Krispie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them cool completely until they firm up.
- Enjoy: Once set, they’re ready to eat! You can store them in an airtight container for a few days.
These treats are great for parties or as a quick snack, and they’re super easy to make!
