      Yum yum!! Delicious, classic recipe! I switched it up a bit and threw in a teaspoon of vanilla and a drop or two of almond extract and a tiny bit of maple flavoring - delicious!!

      I had forgotten how much of a pain in the arse Rice Krispie treats really are. Haha. Plus, my marshmallows were ancient, so they didn't melt well. (Read the description, chefs!) However, I am pretty sure this is the original recipe, and the kids say they taste fine. I thought the recipe I used to make had vanilla in it, but it was Betty Crocker rather than back-of-the-box. So despite the rice krispies all over the kitchen and the sticky pan, thank you for posting.

      Thanks for posting this great recipe. I also bought Rrice Krispies with no recipe on the box. You'd think I'd remember how after making this tons of times in the past 60 years, but, of course, I didn't. Anyway - yummy and as usual I had to eat the first one while it was still gooey and falling apart. They set up if you can wait awhile. Great for kids and not so young kids.

      This is THE classic recipe. Never fails! YUM!!!

      To "streak" -- I get my marshmallows at Trader Joe's, and they ARE vegetarian! :O)

      excuse me, but marshmallows aren't vegetarian. they contain gelatin, which is derived from animals. don't know why this was even considered for a vegetarian menu.

      A classic. This has been my go-to recipe for many years on those Sunday nights after a busy weekend. They are so quick and easy to make for another week of school lunches. Now that the children are older, they can make them themselves! Thanks Bec.

      Thank you for taking the time to post this classic...I bought the store brand Rice Krispies, which does not have the recipe on it so had to search for it. I always add a little extra butter to mine, makes them richer in taste. Getting ready to cut them into small squares to dip into the chocolate fountain at the Super Bowl party...yum!

      I love these! I've been making this recipe for as long as I can remember. One trick I found to help with the stickiness is to coat the pan with a thin layer of powdered sugar! I also sprinkle it on my hands before I pat it down so it doesn't stick to me. Works great and the flavor blends in nicely with the treats. I don't know what made me decide to do that in the first place but hey it works. :)

      Use 9x9 pan instead to make thicker! Other than that takes just like the store bought! I took the advice of the cooking spray on my rubber spoon.

      i like to use salted butter and I add another pinch of salt to the melted marshmallow. It just gives it that super addictive amazing flavor!!! I Also use a little less than 6C. of cereal because I like a little more of the marshmallow part. Comes out perfect!!

      My rice krispies treats have never turned out as perfect as these. The ratio of butter and cereal is perfect. Thanks for posting!

      Loved It! Thank You! Its fast, easy, and good! Goey, chewy and tasty! A fun trick for kids, having a daughter myself, hand them a square treat and show them how to mold it into shapes, like circles or triangles and they can eat too! They are moldable! Its fun and good to eat!

      After trying a package recipe, they didn't turn out so well. But these were perfect! Gooey, but still holding together. These had the classic taste I was going for, though I added 4 Tbsp. butter instead of 3. After they had cooled fully, I pressed peanut M&Ms into one half, and leftover decorating chocolate on the other half. Wonderful, my new go-to recipe.

      Yummy! After reading reviews I decided to add a little extra marshmallows and the result was gooey and delicious. Using wax paper to pack the mixture worked like a charm. Also, I was really impatient so I stuck the pan in the freezer to cool it off :) Thanks Bec!

      Yes so tasty.... Before I was a mom i just bought these in the store when I wanted some... but now my son enjoys helping me in the kitchen so we make things together. I changed the serving to only 5 kuz he would be the only one eating them.. but we had fun and we added M&M's as well. I tasted it and the ones from the store are yucky compared to this one.. O yeah I also added a tiny bit of Vanilla.

      I had to stop making this for the sake of my health because I was eating waaay too many of these in one sitting! I have looked at other krispies recipes on zaar and the rice krispies site and combined the ideas together to get this combo: do the rice krispies treats as you normally would, but add 1 tablesppon vanilla extract and extra marshmallows (I like them gooey). After being pressed in the pan with wax paper I push in M&Ms on the top. If you put the M&Ms down first then use something to push down into squares, it can crack the M&M shells.
