How to Make Sugar Free Rice Krispie Treats
- Many people use a glass baking dish that has been well buttered or sprayed to make this. However, I am all for easy clean ups and making life easier and as a result, I am throwing in the option of using wax paper, foil or parchment paperthat extends over the sides of baking dish. This will allow you to simply lift the treats out of the baking dish to cut into servings in the end.
- Once your baking dish has been prepped, use a sauce pan on low heat to melt your butter. Once the butter has melted you can stir in the marshmallows.
- When the marshmallow have been completely melted into the butter, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cereal and optional vanilla. Then press the mixture into the prepped pan from the first step. Tip:use a well greased rubber spatula to press your mixture. Allow to cool and cut into squares.
