to make maple bacon Rice Krispie Treats <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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

RICE KRISPIES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cereal, of course! Here, use 4 \u2154 cups Rice Krispies. (Store-brand Rice Crispy cereal works too.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MARSHMALLOWS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You'll need 10 ounces of marshmallows, which is roughly 40 regular-size OR 6 cups of mini. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend you weigh the marshmallows, as each brand has a different weight. Jet-Puffed is used here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use our marshmallow conversion chart <\/a><\/strong>as a handy guide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUTTER <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We recommend using European-style, SALTED butter for best results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need 3 tablespoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAPLE SYRUP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I highly recommend using 2 tablespoons of REAL maple syrup, not imitation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BACON<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Always a recipe favorite, you'll need 5 to 6 pieces of bacon. Prepare the bacon on the crispy side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"crispy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

BAKING PAN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The batch shown here is made in an 8 x 8 inch square pan.<\/a><\/strong> (Read on for instructions to make a large batch.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COOKING SPRAY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To make life easier when making rice crispy treats, I use non-stick spray <\/a><\/strong>on my bowls and spatulas. My spray is a canola oil, as that minimizes interference with the taste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NONSTICK FOIL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You may also grease your baking pan with cooking spray, but I find the best option is to line your baking pan with non-stick foil.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's make treats! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you've gathered your ingredients and supplies, it's time to make maple bacon Rice Krispie Treats! Let's start with the microwave version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spray a large bowl with nonstick spray and add the cereal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Break the bacon into small pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Line an 8 inch square baking pan with non stick foil and set aside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

making Rice Krispie Treats in the microwave <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Place the marshmallows and butter (cut in pieces) in a large, microwave-safe bowl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microwave for 1 minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"marshmallows<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stir well, using the residual heat to fully melt the marshmallows. If needed, microwave another 15 seconds, but you do NOT want to overheat the mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stir in the maple syrup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"bacon,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pour the mixture over the cereal and mix until well combined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gently stir in the bacon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIP: Reserve one piece of bacon to sprinkle on top of the cereal treats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lightly and evenly press the Rice Krispie treats into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle bacon pieces on top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let set at least one hour before cutting into squares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Store in an air-tight container up to a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"maple<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

making Rice Krispie Treats on the stove-top <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can also melt the marshmallows and butter on the stove-top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Begin to melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stir in the marshmallows, stirring often, until about 75% have melted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove from the heat and continue to stir until the marshmallows are fully melted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
