We love the classic "Rice Krispies Treat", but going gluten-free meant that this snack was not on our "safe" list, until Kellog's began marketing their "Gluten Free Rice Krispies" cereal. This is a quick dessert; ready in 20 minutes! We keep these ingredients on hand at all times, as you never know when you need a yummy treat fast!! (actually, it's pretty often around here)
Ingredients: One box of Kellog's Rice Krispies Cereal, One Stick Butter, One Bag of Jet Puffed Mini-Marshmallows.
Directions: In microwave, melt butter in a very large bowl for 50 seconds. Add all of the marshmallows and mix well, into the melted butter, to coat the marshmallows. Cook in microwave another 2 minutes. Add the entire box of cereal into the bowl, and stir well. Pour out the mixture onto a brownie pan (we spray a non-stick on pan). Use a lightly sprayed sheet of wax paper to press mixture into the pan. Use a rolling pin or the can of non-stick spray, to "roll" out the mixture, pressing it firmly into the pan, while it is covered with the wax paper. Remove the wax paper and place pan of treats into the freezer for 10 minutes. Cut into serving pieces, serve and enjoy!
Variation 1: Use a large box of "Fruity Pebbles" cereal as a substitute. It's sweeter and just fun!
Variation 2: Mix 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of sugar together and pour into the melted butter before coating the marshmallows in the bowl.
Variation 3: Press chocolate chips onto the top of the mixture, just before placing them into the freezer.
Variation 4: "Holiday Treats"- Crush peppermint sticks and pour them all over the top of the treats, then drizzle green icing in zig-zags, all over the top, before placing into the freezer. (icing is made with powdered sugar, splash of milk and green food coloring)
