I love Rice Krispies Treats and I love M&M's, and I can't believe I've never mixed the two together before!! M&M Rice Krispies Treats are about to become your new favorite easy dessert!
Rice Krispies Treats are my go-to dessert. I always have the ingredients on hand, and I'm well on my way to having a whole page of my site dedicated to them. I have a recipe notebook that I jot ideas down in, and Rice Krispies Treat ideas have their own whole page.

Pro Tip: Save the butter wrapper to use to press the treats down in the pan so you dont have to get your hands sticky. If you forget to keep like (like I always do), you can spray a small piece of parchment paper with non-stick spray and use that instead.
Ingredient List
- Butter
- Marshmallows
- M&M's
- Rice Krispies Cereal
- Salt
Tips and Tricks
- Make your treats dairy free by subbing in coconut oil for butter.
- Let your treats cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into them. You'll get cleaner lines this way, and the treats will stay together better as well.
- I always recommend using mini marshmallows to make rice krispies treats - they melt much more evenly than full sized marshmallows.
- I like to not fully melt the marshmallows, so that you end up with some pockets of marshmallow in the treats that are extra delicious.

FAQ's
- How long do the treats last? Rice Krispies Treats are best eaten within two days of making them. They tend to get stale and hard after that.
- What's the best way to store rice krispies treats? I store mine at room temperature in an air tight container or gallon size plastic bag.
- Are these gluten free? If you make them with Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal, they wont be gluten free. There are some gluten free puffed rice cereals out there though that you can sub in to make them gluten free.
