Small Batch Rice Krispies Treats™ Recipe Helps Curb Temptation by Donna John
The trouble with cooking for two is that dessert recipes usually make a lot. My husband and I definitely don't need to be tempted by a whole cake, pie or batch of fudge sitting on the counter. We both love Rice Krispies Treats™, but the original recipe makes a whole pan. What to do? Make a small batch of these marshmallow cereal treats.
To make these cereal treats for two, you need just three ingredients: butter, mini marshmallows and puffed rice cereal. You cook the sweet treats the same way you do the original Rice Krispies Treats™ recipe, but they're put into a loaf pan instead of a 13x9-inch pan. Smart, right?
Enjoy these marshmallow treats for dessert after dinner or as a sweet snack.
