rice krispie treats

Puffed cereal bars

Rice Krispie treats are a simple confection made by mixing puffed rice cereal with melted marshmallows and butter, then pressing the mixture into a pan to cool and set.

The result is a chewy, slightly sticky bar that's a staple of American bake sales and childhood snacks: She made a batch of Rice Krispie treats for the party.

The name comes from Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal, though the recipe works with any puffed rice.
