I love these, I crave them and have had this craving for a while now. So when I looked at the recipe and tried to convert this to WW points, I figured out that a batch in a 9x13 inch pan makes 24 treats, and that would equal 1 point per treat. Now, my rule is, if I make something and the point value is a little over, I still go with the lower point. These treats came out to 1.33 point, so I am going with 1. Now on to these things...
These are always a kid favorite and I think that there are somethings that make the kid in us show. These are one of them. I will always pick these and now that I know that they are really low fat, I will probably start making them more. I am also wanting to put some add ins on these babies. I am wanting to add dried cranberries to them, or any type of dried fruit for that matter. It can only make it better!
Rice Krispie Treats
1/4 cup butter or margarine
10 oz bag of marshmallows
6 cups rice krispie cereal
Melt the butter over low heat in a large pot. Once melted add the marshmallows and stir until melted together. Remove from the heat and mix in the cereal. Add until combined. Immediately pour into a buttered 9x13 inch pan and spread until even. Let cool and cut into squares.

So you left out the butter and they still turned out great! That's wonderful to know -
I love these things. I truly wish they would come up with a sugar substitute marshmallow. I do not make them because that pan would be gone in one sitting. No joke. I like how you converted the points. That helps.
I love rice crispy treats. And now that I know they are only 1.33 points, They'll be made soon. :)
What ever happen to the cookie carnival? Do you know?
You are right, these are a kid favorite and so easy to make. I need to make these more often especially since they aren't loaded with calories.
A favorite in my household of children. Sometimes I make them with peanut butter. Sometimes with chocolate chips. Bad girl. Nice to know they are good without the butter. Thanks.
these things are so simple and yummy! I always loved getting them at the cafeteria in college, they were the size of my head (no joke!), and I'd happily eat the whole thing hahaha. I want to try and make a batch using special K... that stuff has always reminded me of rice krispies but wayyyy nutritionally better for you. I'll let you know how they go :)
I got a recipe from Ellie Krieger using honey (I think) and maybe P-nut butter and dried cranberries. They seemed a little dry and didn't hang together quite like the marshmallow ones do, but they tasted very good. I'll have to look up the recipe again to make sure.
On a different add in note, David Leibowitz's recipe had me melting white choc in w/ the butter and marshmallows and adding p-nuts in w/ the krispies. An absolutely phenomenal combo! Truly the best I've ever made/eaten.
I've also melted up cinnamon chips and butterscotch chips and used pecans and cinnamon red hots for add ins. They came out great too.
I actually have come to the conclusion that you can do pretty much anything to these and they'll still taste pretty dang fantastic
I love this low-fat version! I'm making these!!!
You can never go wrong with these!
Well you just can't go wrong with rice krispie treats. And who knew they were actually diet food?! :)
