These Christmas Rice Krispie Treats are easy Christmas treats that kids and kids at heart will love. They’re loaded with seasonal M&Ms, sprinkles, and mini marshmallows.
Pre-measure all the ingredients before beginning the recipe because things move fast.
PREP PAN:
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
MAKE TREATS:
Melt butter, salt, and 8 cups of marshmallows in a large pot or saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
Remove the pot from the heat and quickly stir in vanilla. Next, stir in the cereals and the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir until the cereal is coated in the marshmallow mixture.
Fold in the M&Ms and sprinkles.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Lightly grease your hands and press the mixture into an even layer.
ADD TOPPINGS:
Top the treats with extra M&Ms and sprinkles and gently press them into the treats so they stick.
SET AND SERVE:
Let the treats set for 30 minutes.
Use the parchment paper overhang to remove the treats from the pan. Slice into 15 treats (5 rows of 3) and serve.
Notes
Salted butter may be used; omit the salt.
Corn Chex cereal may be used in place of Rice Chex.
Don’t add the M&M’s in too soon, or the color will bleed throughout the Rice Krispie treat mixture.
