Questions about Rice Krispies squares
How do you make Rice Krispies squares at home?
Melt 40 g butter with 300 g marshmallows over a low heat, stirring until smooth, then fold in 90 g puffed rice cereal. Press gently into a buttered or lined tin and leave to set before cutting.
How do you stop the mixture sticking to your hands when making Rice Krispies squares?
Use a lightly buttered spatula or press the mixture into the tin with a piece of baking paper. Press just firmly enough to make an even layer; packing it hard can make the squares dense.
How long do Rice Krispies squares take to set?
Leave them at room temperature for about an hour, until firm enough to cut cleanly. A lightly greased knife helps prevent the marshmallow mixture from dragging.
How should you store Rice Krispies squares?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature, with baking paper between layers so they do not stick together. They are best eaten within a few days, as the cereal gradually loses its crispness.
Can you freeze Rice Krispies squares?
Yes. Wrap individual squares tightly, freeze them in a sealed container, and thaw at room temperature for about an hour; they may be a little less crisp after thawing.
What can you add to Rice Krispies squares?
Stir in chocolate chips, dried fruit or a little peanut butter after taking the melted marshmallow mixture off the heat. For a chocolate-topped version, spread melted chocolate over the pressed mixture and let it set before cutting.
