This is the original 3-ingredient recipe for Rice Krispie Treats! Every bite is perfectly crispy and ooey-gooey!
Original Rice Krispies Treats
One of my greatest weaknesses is Rice Krispie Treats! I don’t know what it is about them, but they’ve always had a hold on me. This original recipe is my favorite, but I also love Scotcheroos and Avalanche Bars!
I’ve made these a million times and have tried several different ways of pressing them down into the pan looking for the easiest non-stick way. It turns out putting a Ziplock bag over my hand then spraying the outside of the bag with non-stick spray before pressing them down is the best way to avoid a sticky mess!
I always have bags of marshmallows and a box of Rice Krispies in my pantry at all times. Then I am always prepared to make a quick treat when I need something last minute! And they work for every season, too. You can sprinkle these with any holiday sprinkles you’d like!
This is one of my most popular recipes! People are raving about them all the time online, I love it! If you need more ooey-gooey inspiration, you can make these for Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween, or the 4th of July!

“Perfect recipe!! My child’s class is having a Grinch Day, so I mixed in green food dye with the melted butter and marshmallows before adding the Rice Krispies. (I only wish I had little red heart sprinkles to add!) I am keeping this recipe for next time!” – Connie
