Step
Method 1 of 3: Making Original Taste Rice Krispies
Step 1. Melt 3 tablespoons (45 grams) of butter in a large saucepan
Put the butter in a saucepan, then turn on the stove over low heat to melt it.
Do not replace margarine with butter so that the taste of Rice Krispies does not change or feels too oily
Step 2. Place 1 pack of marshmallows in a saucepan and cook for 10-15 minutes
Empty the contents of the pack into the saucepan, then stir with the butter until the marshmallows are completely melted, about 10-15 minutes.
If you prefer, you can use 100 grams of mini marshmallows or 200 grams of marshmallow cream instead of a large pack of marshmallows
Processing Rice Krispies in the Microwave:
If you want to microwave Rice Krispies, just heat the butter and marshmallows for 2 minutes on high. After that, remove the melted marshmallow mixture from the microwave, stir with a spatula, then reheat in the microwave for 1 minute.
Step 3. Add 150 grams of Rice Krispies cereal
Once the cereal has been added, stir all the ingredients with a spatula until the entire surface of the cereal is coated with the melted butter and marshmallow mixture, about 5 minutes.
Variation:
Rice Krispies can be replaced by your favorite cereal! To make it, simply mix 150 grams of your favorite cereal with melted butter and marshmallows until the entire surface is well coated.
Step 4. Put the cereal, butter, and marshmallow mixture in a greased pan with pressure, then let it sit for 10-15 minutes until it cools down
Prepare a baking sheet measuring 33x22x5 cm, then spray or apply oil to the surface. Then, apply a small amount of butter to the surface of the spatula and use the same spatula to transfer the Rice Krispies batter into the pan. Don't forget to press the Rice Krispies so that the surface can be more even. After that, cool the Rice Krispies at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
Applying butter to a spatula is effective in preventing the dough from sticking when transferred to the pan
Step 5. Cut the Rice Krispies into squares measuring 5x5 cm
After cooling for 10-15 minutes, Rice Krispies are ready to be served! Remember, Rice Krispies will taste the most delicious if eaten on the same day as when they are made.
You can use a butter knife to cut Rice Krispies
Step 6. Store Rice Krispies in an airtight container, then place the container at room temperature
Supposedly, the quality of Rice Krispies will not change for a maximum of 2 days. If you want to increase shelf life, place the Rice Krispies in an airtight container and separate each layer with a sheet of wax paper. Then, freeze the Rice Krispies in the freezer for up to 6 weeks.
If you want to eat marshmallows that are still frozen, don't forget to let them stand at room temperature for 15 minutes until the texture softens
Method 2 of 3: Making Chocolate Rice Krispies
Step 1. Melt the butter and marshmallows in a large saucepan
Add 4 tbsp. (60 grams) of butter in a saucepan, then heat the pan over medium high heat until the butter melts. Then, put 1 pack of marshmallows in front of the saucepan and stir the two ingredients until they are completely melted.
If you want, you can also use 100 grams of mini marshmallows or 200 grams of marshmallow cream
Step 2. Pour 6 grams of cocoa powder into a saucepan
Then, stir all the ingredients until they are well combined and the texture is smooth. If you want a stronger chocolate taste, add 6 grams of cocoa powder to it.
Step 3. Put 125 grams of Rice Krispies cereal and 8 grams of chocolate chips in a saucepan
After that, turn off the stove and stir all the ingredients with a spatula for 10 minutes.
Don't forget to grease the spatula with butter so that the Rice Krispies dough doesn't stick when stirred
Variation:
Add 75 grams of nuts, such as chopped peanuts or walnuts to the mixture to enrich the texture and taste of Rice Krispies.
Step 4. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet, then sprinkle the surface with enough chocolate chips
Prepare a baking sheet measuring 20x20 cm, then spray or apply a little oil to the surface. After that, pour the mixture into the pan while pressing so that the surface is more even.
Use up all the chocolate chips left in the package
Step 5. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes until it cools down, before cutting it into squares
After the temperature has cooled, cut the Rice Krispies into squares measuring 5x5 cm to make it easier to eat.
Store the remaining Rice Krispies in an airtight container, then place the container at room temperature for a maximum of 2 days. To increase shelf life, freeze Rice Krispies in a closed container for up to 6 weeks
Method 3 of 3: Decorating Rice Krispies
Step 1. Top the Rice Krispies with frosting to sweeten the taste and make it look more luxurious
After the Rice Krispies have cooled, but before cutting, brush the top with frosting using a spatula. Reluctant to make your own frosting? You can also buy ready-made frosting at the supermarket and/or mix it with food coloring, if you prefer.
To make it even more interesting, try mixing the frosting with colorful meses before applying it to the top of the Rice Krispies
Step 2. Dip Rice Krispies in melted chocolate or candy to enhance their appearance
First, melt the chocolate chips or candy in the microwave. After that, dip each piece of Rice Krispies in it and place it on the parchment paper until the texture dries up. If you wish, you can dip the whole Rice Krispies in the melted chocolate/candy, or only partially dip the Rice Krispies so you can still see the grains of cereal.
Want to make his appearance more attractive? Sprinkle the surface of the chocolate or melted candy coating the Rice Krispies with a few extra candies or edible glitter
Step 3. Serve Rice Krispies as lollipops to enhance their appearance
After the Rice Krispies have cooled and cut into pieces, pierce a few pieces of Rice Krispies with a wooden skewer or popsicle stick. That way, you and your loved ones can enjoy it as if you were eating a lollipop!
