During the summer, I am obsessed with making Rice Krispie Treats. Reasons being:
- They are no bake. (beat the summer heat!)
- I already buy a lot of marshmallows for smores. May as well use them for Rice Krispie Treats as well.
- They are freaking delicious!
The only problem with this is that I usually end up eating the whole batch in a couple of days. Which, seeing as how it is swimsuit season (I wish this wasn’t a thing..) I am going to be semi sorry when the squares are all gone.
What is a mug cake obsessed girl to do?
The thing that I do best: make it into a mug cake-esque treat!
I’m not sure which is worse: making an entire batch of Rice Krispie Treats at once, or knowing just how easy it is to make your own personal sized Rice Krispie Treat.
Only time (and my waistline) will tell.
But I think that having your own personal sized Rice Krispies Treat ready in under 5 minutes is a reward in itself.
So scratch Swimsuit Season. Let’s make this Rice Krispies Square (but not really a square) season!
Rice Krispies Square for One
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tsp salted butter
- 4 large mashmallows
- 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- In a small bowl or a ramekin, melt the butter in the microwave for around 20 seconds, or until completely melted.
- Place the marshmallows in the bowl, and microwave for an additional minute. Keep an eye on them! It will puff up, but will deflate as soon as you take it out of the microwave.
- Mix together the marshmallows and the melted butter until smooth.
- Mix in the Rice Krispies cereal until fully combined. Press into the bowl with a spatula and allow to cool.
I'm loving these Rice Krispies Squares for One! I think I would be less tempted to make myself a second batch, as easy as it is to make, so this is perfect for portion control for me. Great idea, Cathleen!
Simple and very tempting with the marshmallows!
Mmmm, this looks so delicious! I love making desserts for one, and this rice krispy treat is just my kind of thing. Yum!! Anything with marshmallows is heavenly in my eyes!
That looks like the perfect late night snack! 🙂
I never thought of them as a summer treat, but you give a very compelling argument!
How easy! A totally unique dessert for one option 🙂
Hi Cathleen,
This is so simple and nice. Thanks for sharing.
Visit my place and see, I have posted two recipes which were published in the magazine here.
Ha! I like that you only made this to feed one… Mmmmm bowl of crispie square 😀 x
