The Single Ingredient Needed For The Best Tasting Rice Krispies Treats
By Erin Metz
Store-bought Rice Krispies Treats can come with added preservatives and chemicals. Instead, make this crispy rice cereal and marshmallow treat at home and add vanilla extract.
This sweet-smelling ingredient brings out the natural sweetness in the other ingredients without altering their flavors in any way.
Rice Krispies Treats use marshmallows, butter, a pinch of salt, and crispy rice cereal. To elevate these treats, add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract to your marshmallow and butter.
The additional ½ teaspoon of liquid won't affect the texture in any way, but it will provide an extra bite of sweetness that is a welcome addition to the sticky treat.
