There is one dessert that is sure to win over the hearts of all consumers no matter their age. The answer, rice krispie treats! The reasoning might be a little nostalgic but there is no denying that it is almost impossible to limit yourself to one treat!
As soon as I find Rice Krispies on sale at the grocery store, I match them up with a coupon (Casual Couponing 101), and stock up! I never pay more than $1.50 per box and that might be higher than you could find it in other parts of the country.
So watch for the sales, stock up, and make everyone happy with this recipe for the most perfect gooey rice krispie treats!
Almost every time I need a last minute dessert or treat to bring to an event or friends house, these are what I make!
There are three qualifications to earn the title of Best Rice Krispie Treats Ever.
- Plenty of marshmallow goodness!

Also leaving these delicious treats perfectly gooey but aren’t falling apart all over your hands. Oh. Yum!
The trick to leaving pockets of gooey marshmallow is to put a few extra cups of mallows later on in the recipe. Make sure to read to directions bellow for more detail!
