For some reason, Kellogg's original Rice Krispie Treat recipe says there are 4 cups of mini marshmallows in a 10-ounce bag. We've weighed and measured this many times and there are definitely 6 cups in 10 ounces. Marshmallows are basically light and fluffy balls of sugar. They are made with sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, and water. It’s whipped at a very high speed to force the air into the sugar and create the puffs we love. The puffs of toasted rice stayed crispy in the cereal treats and tasters all agreed that they have outstanding flavor. Not one single one of the 20 taste testers liked the addition of the whole marshmallows in the cereal treats.

For each of these recipes, we used the same brand of butter, marshmallows, and cereal. Some recipes called for using a 9-inch by 13-inch pan while others used a square 8-inch or 9-inch pan. We tested a vegan butter but none of the testers liked the flavor or texture of the treats made with this butter. If you don’t have peanut butter or aren’t a fan, you can swap it out for cookie butter or almond butter instead. The secret ingredient in this dish is no surprise: dark chocolate! Dark chocolate adds such a rich and bold flavor profile, which pairs nicely with the sweetness of the marshmallows. You can freeze the treats. Wrap them well, and freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, bring them to room temperature and let them sit, wrapped, for a few hours. Then unwrap and enjoy.
