How to Make Sugar Free Rice Krispie Treats
Rice Krispie treats are among the most famous of cereal treats that we like to eat.
Cereal treats are usually made with cereal and marshmallows. However, we all know that both items can contain a bit of sugar in them.
As a result of all that sugar, those cereal treats can be on that banned list for many of us.
Up until now, we just figured that you had to use regular marshmallows and cereal to get that great taste. However, there is a way to eat these without all of that sugar.

There are several alternative ingredients that we can use to make these lower in sugar.
The first ingredient alternative is Sugar Free and Gluten Free Marshmallows, which you can find online. Also, using regular Rice Krispie Cereal, which has about 4 grams of sugar per serving is not all that bad. However,Rice Krispie Cereal is also available in Gluten Free (1 gram of sugar) which you can find online.

The Recipe for How to Make Sugar Free Rice Krispie Treats
What you will need to make Sugar Free Rice Krispie Treats.
- Butter or margarine- 1 1/2 tablespoons.
- Sugar Free Marshmallows- 2 Bags (5.4 oz total)
- Cereal- 3 cups (see post for choices).
- Vanilla Extract- 1 teaspoon.
How to Make Sugar Free Rice Krispie Treats
- Prep a 6 X 6, or similar sized, pan for nonstick. I use parchment paper or wax paper because it makes the end product easier to serve and clean up a lot easier. However, the original recipe calls for using nonstick spray on the pan. Set your prepped pan aside while you work.
- In a saucepan on low heat, melt your butter. However, make sure that you do not burn the butter.
- When the butter has melted, add your marshmallows to the pan and continue to cook your ingredients on low heat, stirring as it cooks. Also, do not allow your ingredients to overcook since it will make it harder to make as a result .
- After the marshmallows have melted, remove the pan from the heat and stir in your vanilla extract as well as the cereal. Make sure that the cereal is well covered with the marshmallow mixture.
- Finally, when the ingredients are well blended you can press them into the prepped pan. Using a rubber spatula can make this easier to do because you will be able to press the mixture down into the pan as you work.
- When the treats appear to be set, you can cut it into squares and serve. However, I find it easiest to do this by using parchment paper in the pan which is over-sized. Then you can easily like the treats out of the pan using the parchment paper for cutting.
