The perfect recipe and tips for making a large batch of Rice Krispie Treats, either for a crowd or a bake sale!

Ingredients

  • real butter

    12 tablespoons

    1 ½ sticks
  • additional 4 cups mini marshmallows
    16 c
  • rice krispie cereal
    12 c
  • salt
    ¼ tsp

Directions

  1. 1

    Line a 12 x 18” rimmed baking sheet with parchment or foil and spray lightly with non-stick spray.  Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a very large mixing bowl add rice krispies and 4 cups mini marshmallows, set aside.

  3. 3

    In a large stock pot on the stove top, melt the butter and add the 16 cups marshmallows.  If you feel your pot isn’t large enough, add half the marshmallows at a time and let them melt down a bit before you add the rest.  Melt completely and stir in salt.

  4. 4

    Once melted, quickly pour over cereal mixture and stir well until all cereal is coated.  Transfer mixture to prepared pan. Spray your hands with non-stick spray (or rub with a little butter) so you can gently press down mixture to the edges of the pan.

  5. 5

    Let treats set until firmed up and then lift your foil/parchment out of the pan for easy cutting.
