The Best Rice Krispy Treat Recipes

Lately I have been on a huge rice krispy treat kick, so I’ve been testing out the best rice krispy treat recipes, and here’s what I’ve come up with:

Cake Batter Rice Krispy Treat Recipe: Also known as birthday cake rice krispy treats, this one is the sweetest and my husband’s favorite version of rice krispy treats and here’s the super simple recipe that only requires 5 ingredients:

Ingredients:

4 tbsp butter

1 bag mini marshmallows

2/3 cup of yellow cake mix (you can also use white or funfetti cake mix here, your preference)

5 cups Rice Krispy Cereal (totally fine to use the generic version as I can’t taste a difference)

1/2 container of rainbow sprinkles

Instructions:

1. Melt butter in large saucepan or pot on low-medium heat
2. Once butter is completely melted, add half the marshmallows and let them completely melt, no lumps
3. Stir in dry cake mix, remove from heat
4. Add cereal and remaining marshmallows and about half of the sprinkles
5. Pour into a 13×9 pan coated with cooking spray. Use wax or parchment paper to lightly press treats down and top with remaining sprinkles
6. Let cool, the enjoy

S’mores Rice Krispy Treat Recipe: Another super simple and delicious rice krispy recipe, this one is probably my favorite!

Ingredients:

7 cups Rice Krispy Cereal

2 cups Graham Crackers (I put them in a ziplock bag and break apart – a mix of dust and broken pieces are best!)

4 tbsp butter

1 bag mini marshmallows

1 cup milk chocolate chips

1/2 tsp sea salt or regular salt

Instructions:

1. Grease 9×13 baking dish
2. Melt butter completely then add 2/3 cup of marshmallows and melt completely with no lumps
3. Mix cereal, graham crackers, salt and remaining marshmallows
4. Pour melted mixture over dry mixture
5. Once cooled down a little, add chocolate chips (or you can mix immediately for a more melted chocolate taste)
6. Let cool and enjoy! You can also refrigerate this rice krispy treat recipe, which is a unique touch

Oreo Rice Krispy Treat Recipe: This was the OG rice krispy treat recipe for me and still one of my favorites.

Ingredients:

5 tbsp butter

1 bag mini marshmallows

1/2 tsp sea salt or regular salt

9 cups rice krispy cereal

2 cups of Oreo cookies broken up

(optional) 3/4 cup white chocolate or regular chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Grease 9×13 pan, set aside
2. In a large pot, melt the butter
3. Once melted, add half the marshmallows
4. Once everything is completely melted, add the melted mixture of the all the dry ingredients, and mix well
5. I like to save some bigger oreo pieces to stick to the top of the rice krispy treats, so they look more oreo!
