The Best Rice Krispie Cereal Dessert
There once was a time that I created the Perfect Krispie Treat and put it on the internets and claimed it to be the best above all the rest. I did that.
But unfortunately I can never leave well enough alone. It’s like my raging FOMO, which my friend Kristan clinically classified me as a few years back, when things are good, couldn’t they be better? I mean what if someone else is having MORE fun that me?
Yeah I really need to work on that…
BUT I really think that my FOMO has lead me to today’s post. I thought I had the “Perfect”, but WHAT if there’s something better? WHAT IFFF?
Seriously it’s exhausting being in my brain.
A Homemade Marshmallow Fluff Krispie Treat Recipe
Anyhow, these Krispies I made today might be better than my Perfect for some people…but possibly not all.
Here’s the deal. I wanted to push Krispie Treats to MAXIMUM MARSHMALLOW capacity.
How many marshmallows can I stuff in a Krispie Treat and have them still hold their shape when cut. It’s really a tough job I have over here people.
When I was doing my Marshmallow Conversion experiment I got this idea…what about a Krispie Treat made from Fluff. Now I am sure this has been done, even though I didn’t consult Dr. Google…
But I didn’t want a Krispie with just fluff. I wanted the softness of the fluff, but still the have it hold together like a Krispie Treat should.
AND these krispie treats stay soft for days…it’s a miracle!
Y’all I nailed the socks off this mess. NAILED.
Tips and Tricks on Making Marshmallow Fluff Krispies:
The deal is, if you add too many marshmallows your krispies will get chewy and they won’t hold the shape. I tried that when I was developing the measurements for The Perfect. So I thought, let’s not add more minis, let’s add some Fluff, because it’s the same but TOTALLY different.
What ends up happening is you get the texture of a krispie treat with more airy volume, making it spongy and soft and gooey and DIVINE.
Also, let me point out I mixed it up a little and added half Fruity Pebbles and half Krispie cereal.
I like the combo of the two better than making one with ALL Fruity Pebbles. I’ve done experiments on this as well. Trust me.
You could easily use any combo of cereals you like, or just use all one cereal.
First melt the marshmallows and stir in the cereal like you would a regular krispie…
Then get all busy with that Fluff. Or Marshmallow Creme…because as we learned yesterday they are really one in the same.
THEN mix in more minis. You know it.
STIR!!!!
Seriously look at that bowl of glorious white beauty…
Press it into a lined and greased pan…
And let it sit. You will need to let these rest for at least an hour, more if you can. The Fluff needs a little time to set up.
But then slice them. Aren’t they gorg?
I’m telling you, while I still think my Perfect Krispie is a classic recipe that you should know, if you’re looking to take it a step further…elevate your Krispie game, if you will, this is the recipe for you.
Like I said, it’s the MAXIMUM amount of marshmallow packed into a krispie treat.

You. Totally. Nailed. It. I just made these tonight with my son and they are the most amazing Krispy treats I’ve EVER had! So so so good!
Oh my! Who is the devil the that made these??? I made them today and I don’t even care if they set up! I don’t think I’ll ever make pain old Rice Krispie treats again. I feel very ashamed because I’m tempted to hide them from my family and eat them all myself!!
HA! LOVE this!!
I can’t wait to try these. My major complaint about krispies treats (as an adult) is they set as hard a bricks. Yours look silky, puffy, and just plain drool worthy
So, my daughter and I used this recipe last night. We only used rice krispie though (no fruity pebbles) we had the fluff. And oh my gosh, it was heavenly! It was so delicious that I had a square with my coffee this morning. ???? We love your blog! And often make your Sunday chocolate cake and brownies for our family Sunday dinners. ????
Thank you!!! SO glad you liked them!
I was never a fan of rice krispie treats, just made them for the grandkids. I never thought they had any flavor. These, however, are FABULOUS! Triple the marshmallow and the fruity pebbles actually give some flavor. They are very sticky when you first make them. Honestly they are better the next day, and even more wonderful the second day. Less sticky and the fruit flavors have blended. You won’t be sorry you tried them!
These were AMAZING!!! I am going to make my regular rice krispie treats like this EVERY time from now on!!! So delicious!! Thanks for the FABULOUS recipe!! YUM!!
I adapted your recipe to make s’mores treats. They were AMAZING!!!! Love all the extra marshmallow! Thank you for sharing!
oh what a perfect idea!! I need to try that!
Just made these and they were sooooo yummy!! This one is a keeper!!
i made these and used the miniature colored marshmallows and I couldn’t get them to mix with the butter and they wouldn’t melt like regular ones, think it ruined the whole thing. Is there something missing in the recipe or was it the marshmalows? hope someon can help me with this one
I would have to say it’s the marshmallows… every recipe for krispie treats, mine or another, mixes butter and marshmallow together. I have never tried the colored marshmallows, even though I wouldn’t have thought they would have been a problem! SO sorry you had trouble!
Wow I love how these ended up looking. I always want extra marshmallowness in my rice krispies and this recipe nailed it!! I am totally pinning this for later.. I might just make it very soon 🙂
