FAQs

Can you make rice crispy treats and freeze them? ›

If you want to store them for longer than two days, try freezing them. To Freeze: Allow these gooey Rice Krispie Treats to cool completely and cut them into squares. Freeze in an airtight container, or wrap each square in a piece of plastic wrap and place them in a gallon freezer bag. Freeze them for up to 3 months.

Once you've cut up your extra rice crispy treats, stack them in an airtight container. Place a sheet of wax paper in between each layer to keep them from sticking, then seal the top. You can store the container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze the treats for up to 6 weeks.

Generally speaking, an unopened box of Rice Krispies treats will stay fresh for up to one year past the best by date printed on the box. An opened package of Rice Krispies should be consumed within 2-3 weeks of opening, after this time frame the rice krispies treat may become stale.

Yes, you can freeze cooked rice. Cool it as quickly as possible by placing it in a shallow container in the fridge. Once the rice is completely cold, transfer it to freezer bags in desired portion sizes, flatten to about 3cm thick and expel as much air as possible before sealing tightly.

Allow to thaw at room temperature before serving. Make-ahead- I truly believe the best rice krispies are the ones fresh from the pan but if you want to make them in advance remember to make them no more than 3 days before you plan to serve them or freeze them right away.

Rice krispie treats do not need to be refrigerated because they contain so much sugar, which acts as a preservative. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, but I doubt they will last that long!

Too much marshmallow and butter can make a super sticky, wet or soggy slice, while too little makes a hard, dry or crumbly one. I recommend using a baking scale for my recipe to get the ratio JUST right, creating the perfect chewy but crispy Rice Krispie Squares. Melted marshmallow = sticky mess.

Don't use old marshmallows.

Most importantly, they don't melt nearly as well. Instead of becoming soft and gooey, they melt into a one giant blob. → Follow this tip: Save the older marshmallows for hot cocoa and s'mores, and pick up a fresh bag of marshmallows to ensure a really great batch of rice krispie treats.

How do you interpret the expiration code on your Kellogg's brand product? The key is to understand that the expiration date is presented in “MMDDY” format — the first two digits represent the month, the next two digits are the day of the month, and the final digit is the year.

How long do vacuum sealed Rice Krispie treats last? ›

For optimal storage, slice and wrap each bar in plastic wrap and eat within two days. Alternatively, you can vacuum-seal your Rice Krispie treats after they have cooled. This can extend the shelf life up to several weeks, as long as there are no punctures or airflow.

What happens if you put too much butter in Rice Krispies Treats? If you put too much butter in rice krispies treats they will become oily, the cereal will soak up the butter and the treats will become soggy, rather than crispy.

Use more butter (lots more) and brown it to deepen the flavor. Increase the marshmallows and stir in some at the end for extra gooeyness. Add vanilla extract for flavor. Add salt because a little salt makes anything sweet taste so much better.

An important factor in a rice krispie treat recipe is the ratio of marshmallow to cereal. Too much cereal and the squares will taste dry, crunchy, and bland. Too much marshmallow and the squares will be too sticky and fall apart.

Can you warm up rice krispies treats? Yes! They are best fresh, and will never quite be the same as that, but if you want to soften them up after a day or two, just pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds and they will be soft and chewy again!

Freezing marshmallows ensures freshness for far longer — in some cases, up to a year. Just be sure to thaw them properly so they retain their springiness. What's the best way to bring them back to temp? Put them in the fridge overnight to defrost them slowly, and keep them sealed airtight so no moisture gets in.
