I’ve always made rice crispy treats using the stove, but you can also make them using the microwave.

Do you prefer soft rice crispy treats or the extra crispy ones? You know the ones that scratch the roof of your mouth when taking a bite?

If you want to keep your rice crispy treats from getting hard, you’ll want to use low heat to melt the butter and marshmallows.

Using high heat may seem quicker, but they may not turn out as soft after cooling.

How to make them in a microwave:

Place the mini marshmallows in a large, microwave-safe bowl (I love these bowls).

Microwave the marshmallows in 45 second bursts, stirring well in between, and heating more as needed.

Add the butter and stir until melted.

Add 1 cup of Rice Krispies cereal at a time to mix in the melted marshmallows and butter.

How to make them on the stove:

Melt butter on low heat in a large saucepan on the stove.

Once the butter is melted, add the marshmallows. Keep stirring until the marshmallows melt into the butter.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the cereal.

Whether you used the microwave or the stove, it’s time to put your mixture into a pan.

Grease or butter an 8″ x 8″ casserole dish. You can also line it with parchment paper and give that a quick spray with no stick cooking spray.

Press the cereal mixture into the dish using a lightly buttered spatula.

Then press down on the rice crispy mixture using clean, wet hands to prevent sticking.

Sprinkle rainbow sprinkles or jimmies over the top and press in the chocolate chips.

Let it set for about two hours, then slice and serve. Makes 9.

How long to wait before cutting unicorn rice krispie treats?

It’s tempting to immediately sample your delicious unicorn rice crispy treats, but you’ll want to let your crispy cereal treats to set first.

Trust me, it’s worth the wait.

I recommend refrigerating them for two hours (or overnight) before slicing. At the very least, let them set for 30 minutes to an hour.

How to store unicorn rice krispie treats?

You’ll want to store your homemade rice crispy treats properly if you actually have some left over, or you made this unicorn poop rice crispy variation for a birthday party.

After slicing the rice krispie treats, place them in an airtight food storage container. Put wax paper between the layers so they do not stick together.

This will make it easier to hand them out at a birthday party too.

How long do unicorn rice krispie treats last?

In our house? Not long… maybe a few hours.

I’m kidding! (Sort of)

If you are storing leftover unicorn poop rice crispy cereal treats or making them ahead for a party, they are good for about three days in an airtight container at room temperature.

Did you know you can freeze rice krispie treats? This is great if you like making and baking sweets in batches. Freeze these treats for up to six weeks.
