Best Rice Krispie Treat Recipe: Minnie Mouse
What started out as Valentine Rice Krispie Treats soon—with the help of my (then) three-year-old—evolved into the best Rice Krispie treat recipe. Together we made Minnie Mouse rice krispie treats – incredible and BEAUTIFUL! These treats were so simple—we didn’t even dirty a big soup pot to make them.
Instead, we just melted our butter and marshmallows in a Pyrex pan in the microwave and voila, we simply had to mix the sticky mixture together with the cereal. Rice Krispie treats are a classic dessert and childhood baking activity. These treats are a rite of passage for any young baker.

According to our own recipe, melting marshmallows for perfect Rice Krispie treats has never been easier. We simply put the marshmallows and butter in a Pyrex and let the microwave do the hard part.
