Rice Krispie treats with marshmallow fluff for lunchboxes, bake sales, & parties


If you need something easy for this weekend, school holiday parties, or a last-minute bake sale, these Rice Krispie Treats with Marshmallow Fluff are an easy win.

The fluff melts with butter in one pot, you stir in the cereal, press it into a 9×13 pan, and you’re basically done.

The bars stay soft and stretchy instead of turning hard or dry, so they hold up well for lunchboxes, classroom parties, or weeknight dessert.

You can keep them extra soft or add a little more cereal if you like a firmer bar.

The mixture spreads easily in the pan, a light press is all it needs, and once it cools you can cut neat squares that are easy to stack in a container, line up on a platter for a class party, or wrap individually for lunchboxes and bake sales.
