Gluten Free Rice Krispie Treats
Using entirely gluten free ingredients, these are the BEST rice krispie treats that are always a fan favorite!
Equipment
- 13 x 9 x 2 pan
- parchment paper
- 1 rubber spatula
- cooking spray
Ingredients
- 1 stick of salted butter
- 2 bags of marshmallows [20 oz total]
- 1 tsp gluten free vanilla extract
- 10 oz Crispy Rice Cereal typical box is 12 oz
- 2 cups Choco Chimps Cereal
- 5 oz Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers the bag is 10 oz, I use about half the bag
Instructions
- Line your 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan with parchment paper, lightly spray parchment paper with cooking spray
- In a large glass bowl, melt stick of salted butter in microwave for 30-60 seconds [depending on the strength of your microwave]
- add one bag of marshmallows to melted butter and heat up in the microwave for 1 minute [make sure to press marshmallows down as they will rise]
- TIP- spray rubber spatula with a little bit of cooking spray before you start to stir melting marshmallows, it gets very sticky and this will keep it from sticking to your spatula
- Remove from microwave and stir, then add your second bag of marshmallows, place back in microwave for another minute
- remove from microwave and stir
- add 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the mixture
- add 12 oz. box [less 2 cups] of crispy rice cereal a little bit at a time, stirring as you go
- add 2 cups of choco chimps [these taste exactly like cocoa puffs, this is my favorite part of this recipe]
- once everything is completely mixed together, spread in your pan, and flatten with the back of a metal spoon [I also spray my spoon with a little cooking spray to prevent sticking]
- pour half the bag of chocolate melting wafers into a small glass bowl and follow microwave instructions
- once the chocolate is melted, drizzle all over the top of your rice krispie treats
- refrigerate for 15 minutes
- Enjoy!
Notes
A lot of people prefer to melt their butter and marshmallows on the stove, the reason I like to do it in the microwave is so it can all be done in one big glass bowl. It's just always been easier this way for me!
Sometimes, the Crispy Rice cereal and Choco Chimps cereal can be hard to find, I usually find the Crispy Rice cereal at Walmart and the Choco Chimps at Target or Stop&Shop! [Amazon usually sells them too but in packs of 10]
