Sometimes you have a hankering for gooey marshmallow cereal treats but you don't want to make an entire pan of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you want to make a single serving of rice crispy treats because it would be too tempting to eat an entire pan of them or because they would get stale before you could eat a full pan of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either, way, making a small batch of treats is super easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To come up with this small-batch Rice Krispie treat recipe, I started by cutting down our award-winning Rice Krispie treat recipe<\/a> that uses the perfect ratio of butter, marshmallows, and cereal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can make these treats using your microwave but you can also use the stovetop if you don't have a microwave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's make small-batch rice crispy treats!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You will need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

butter<\/strong> - We always recommend using European-style salted butter to give your treats the very best flavor. This type of butter has less water and more butterfat than American butter which means more flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OR coconut oil<\/strong> - You can swap out coconut oil for the butter to make a small batch of our Coconut Oil Rice Krispie Treats<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

marshmallows<\/strong> - I suggest using mini marshmallows when making a small batch of treats because they melt so easily but you can use large marshmallows if that's what you have on hand. It's always best to use fresh marshmallows when making crispy rice treats. Fresh marshmallows will make perfectly chewy treats. Old, hard marshmallows will make hard treats that are not easy to chew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rice Krispies Cereal<\/strong> - You can use any crisp rice cereal but we recommend using Kellogg's Rice Krispies Cereal. It has the best flavor and texture of all the cereals we have tasted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
