Rice Krispies Treats for Two
These Rice Krispies treats for two are an easy way to get into a little something sweet, without making an entire trayful of them. And they're made in the microwave so they're super quick, too.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup tightly packed mini marshmallows
- 2 cups crisp rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
- Pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
- Line a 9-by-5-inch (23-by-13-cm) loaf pan with parchment paper or wax paper.
- If making the rice krispies treats for two in the microwave, place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on full power in 15-second increments, until the butter melts completely, 30 to 50 seconds. Add the marshmallows and microwave, again in 15-second increments, until the marshmallows melt, 25 to 50 seconds. Immediately stir the butter and marshmallows together very well. If making the rice krispies treats for two on the stovetop, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Immediately add the marshmallows and, working quickly, stir until melted and well blended. Remove from the heat.
- Add the pinch of salt and the cereal all at once to the melted marshmallow and butter goo. Stir, stir, stir until the cereal is completely coated. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan using buttered fingertips or a spatula. If you have the patience, let the treats cool slightly.
- Slice in half and devour. (Just to warn you, these are generous servings. But c’mon, since when did a little Rice Krispies treat ever satisfy your craving?!)
