The basic recipe for Rice Krispies Treats is easy: melt marshmallows with butter, combine with plenty of puffed rice cereal / “Rice Krispies,” and let it cool.
For many creative cooks, the recipe is too simple to leave plain, especially since Rice Krispies Treats are so flexible. You can form all kinds of shapes with them or add other ingredients to make the flavor more complex. It’s still easy to make, but the end result is more memorable and fun to try.
