Can this recipe be doubled or tripled?

Trish’s Tips and Tricks

With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a colorful and delicious rice krispie treat that everyone will love! Here are some tips so you get the best results:

  • If you don’t have a 9 inch square baking dish, you can use a 9×13 inch instead. The treats will be thinner. Likewise, you can use an 8 inch pan, and the treats will be thicker.
  • Make sure to stir the marshmallows constantly while melting them to prevent them from burning.
  • Add a few drops of food color to the marshmallow mixture for even more color.
  • Gently fold in the cereal to avoid crushing it.
  • Lightly spray or grease your knife before cutting the treats. You can also rub some butter on the knife.
  • Try different types of cereal in this recipe, such as cocoa pebbles, to create new flavor combinations.
  • You can add all sorts of fun mix-ins, like chopped candy bars, dried fruit, or even sprinkles to this recipe – the possibilities are endless!
