Notes

Microwave Instructions:

Heat the butter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes in a large microwave safe bowl, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Fold in the rice krispies cereal and then continue by placing into a prepared 9x13 baking dish. Microwave cooking times may vary based on wattage, watch carefully and use a bowl bigger than you expect because marshmallows expand.

Store Rice Krispie monster treats in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. To minimize sticking, separate layers with parchment paper or wax paper.

Make-Ahead: You can make the treats ahead of time, and then dip and decorate when ready.

Refrigerator: While the treats will stay fresh on the counter for 2-3 days, you can also store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Freezer: Freeze Rice Krispie treats for up to 3 months. If you want to be able to pull out one at a time, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap.
