How to Make Funfetti Rice Krispie Treats Recipe

Melt Marshmallows. Place butter and marshmallows into large heat proof mixing bowl and microwave until puffed and melted.
Add Vanilla and Cereal. Remove and stir in vanilla and cereal.

Tips For Making Perfect Rice Krispie Treats
Here are some simple tips and tricks to use while making rice krispie treats.
- Don’t Over Stir. Make sure your marshmallows have some lumps still left when melting. This makes for an extra chewy treat.
- Add Extra Marshmallows. Use more marshmallows than suggested…I always add in an extra handful.
- Butter Pan. Before transferring the cereal mixture to the pan make sure it’s buttered.
- Grease Fingers To Press. Butter your fingers or spray them with cooking spray to press the warm treats down evenly into the pan.
- Plastic Knife. Butter the knife or spray with cooking spray for a clean cut every time. If you have a plastic knife, even better. No buttering needed.
- Cut While Warm. Cut the treats while they’re still slightly warm.

Serve these rice krispie treats room temperature at your next party and watch them disappear quickly!
