Can you Freeze Rice Krispie Treats?

You can definitely freeze Rice Krispie treats! Freezing them is a great way to preserve their freshness if you’ve made a large batch or want to make them in advance for future enjoyment. Here’s how to freeze Rice Krispie treats properly:

1. Cool Completely: Allow the Rice Krispie treats to cool completely at room temperature before attempting to freeze them. This ensures that they maintain their shape and texture during freezing and thawing.
2. Cut into Portions: If you’ve made a large pan of Rice Krispie treats, consider cutting them into individual portions before freezing. This makes it easier to grab and thaw only the amount you need at a time.
3. Wrap Well: Wrap each portion or the entire batch tightly with plastic wrap. Make sure to cover them completely to prevent freezer burn and to maintain their freshness.
4. Place in Freezer Bag or Container: Once wrapped, place the Rice Krispie treats in a freezer-safe bag or container. Press out any excess air from the bag before sealing it tightly.
5. Label and Date: Don’t forget to label the bag or container with the contents and date of freezing. This will help you keep track of how long they’ve been in the freezer.
6. Freeze: Place the wrapped Rice Krispie treats in the freezer. Make sure to lay them flat to freeze initially, then you can stack them once they are frozen solid.
7. Thaw Properly: When you’re ready to enjoy the Rice Krispie treats, remove them from the freezer and let them thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. Thawing them slowly in the refrigerator helps maintain their texture and prevents them from becoming too soggy.

Following these steps will ensure that your frozen Rice Krispie treats retain their deliciousness and are ready to enjoy whenever you have a craving for a sweet treat!

Ingredients

• 1 ¾ cup broken/lightly crushed graham crackers
• 9 full crackers
• 6 cups rice krispie cereal
• 10 ounces mini marshmallows
• 10 ounces large marshmallows
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 2 ounces chocolate chips
• 1 hershey bar broken into pieces

Instructions

• Preheat oven to broil.
• Grease a 9×13 baking dish, and line a baking sheet with foil and grease the foil.
• Place the rice cereal and all but ¼ cup (if you can, try tosave the larger broken pieces to decorate the top) of thecrushed graham crackers. Mix it together well.
• Spread half of the mini marshmallows onto the baking sheet and broil for a minute or two. You want the marshmallows to look lightly toasted, but not burned. They will burn easily so keep an eye on them. Set aside.
• You can turn off the oven for a few minutes while you move on to the next step.
• In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Then, add in the large marshmallows and stir until completely smooth and melted.
• Pour the melted marshmallows onto the rice krispies, and scrape the toasted marshmallows in too. Mix well.
• Spread the marshmallow mixture into the greased 9×13 pan in an even layer. Don’t press too hard or you will ahve dense bars and they won’t be as soft and chewy. You may find a greased spatula really helpful for this.
• Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the bars and place in the warm oven to melt the chocolate chips. It should only take 20 seconds or so, do it longer if needed. Use the spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the melted chocolate chips into an even layer.
• Turn the broiler back on.
• Scatter the remaining mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate and broil for a minute, and then check it every 20-30 seconds after a minute, until it is lightly toasted. You may also want to rotate the pan halfwaythrough to make sure it browns evenly.
