Coconut Oil Rice Krispy Treats
Servings: 6 servings
Author: Adapted from Real Food with Jessica
- 6 Tbsp Coconut Oil (see notes) Sams Club Members Mark Virgin Coconut Oil
- 10 oz Bag of small marshmallows
- 5 Cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 1 splash of Vanilla probably ⅛ of a tsp! But a Splash is fancy!
Line a 9x13 square pan with parchment paper or foil (spray foil with non-stick spray.) Or Grease the baking dish with coconut oil. Set aside.
In a large pan, combine coconut oil and marshmallows over medium heat until completely melted. This should take 4-5 minutes and make sure to stir constantly so the bottom doesn’t burn.
Once mixture is smooth (no marshmallow lumps), stir in the splash of vanilla and then add the Rice Krispies cereal and mix until evenly coated. Pour into prepare pan and let cool for about an hour. Cut into squares and serve.
I usually use a 9"x13" pan but you can also use an 8"x8" if you want thicker treats.
*I recently updated this recipe (Edit: September 14th 2020), the old recipe used only 1/4 cup of coconut oil but if you add two Tablespoons more, the Rice Krispie Treats are perfectly soft and chewy!
