What makes rice crispy treats hard?

Rice crispy treats are a classic American dessert made from rice cereal, marshmallows, and butter. They’re easy to make and always a hit with kids (and adults!) But sometimes, they can come out a little too hard.

The main culprit for hard rice krispie treats is high heat. When you melt the butter and marshmallows over high heat, it causes the proteins in the marshmallows to denature, or change shape. This makes them harder to chew and less tasty.

To avoid this problem, simply melt the butter and marshmallows over low heat instead.

How do you make hard Rice Krispies soft?

If you have hard Rice Krispies that you want to soften, there’s a surprisingly simple solution – just place them in a ziploc bag with a slice of bread. The moisture from the bread will make the Rice Krispies soft again.

This method works great if you just have a few Rice Krispies that need to be softened. Just place them in the bag with the bread and let them sit overnight.

How do you make Rice Krispies stick together?

There are a few keys to making Rice Krispies stick together. First, you need to melt the butter in a large sauce pot or Dutch oven on the stovetop. Then, stir the vanilla extract and salt into the butter. Next, remove the mixture from the heat, and quickly stir in the Rice Krispies cereal. Finally, spread the Rice Krispies mixture into the greased baking dish and let them cool. By following these steps, you will be sure to have sticky Rice Krispies that will hold together well.

How do they make rice crisp?

Rice crisp is a type of breakfast cereal made from rice that has been partially dried, rolled and given time to sit so the flavor can develop. The grains are then toasted so they expand and turn into crispy puffs.

What can I use instead of marshmallow for Rice Krispie Treats?

If you’re looking for a marshmallow substitute for your Rice Krispie Treats, almond butter and maple syrup are a great option! Together, these two ingredients create a sticky mixture that will hold your cereal together just like marshmallows would. Plus, it’s a much healthier option than using processed marshmallows. Simply combine equal parts almond butter and maple syrup, then add it to your cereal in place of the marshmallows. You’ll still get that classic rice crispy texture and flavor, without all the sugar and artificial ingredients.
