crispy treat

Rice cereal square

A crispy treat is a sweet snack made by binding puffed rice cereal with melted marshmallow and butter, then pressing it into a pan and cutting into squares or bars.

The name comes from Rice Krispies, the brand most associated with the recipe: She made crispy treats for the bake sale.

The term sometimes extends to similar no-bake confections using other cereals or binding agents.
