Microwave Krispies Treats
My kids love it when I make Rice Krispies Treats. One day I decided to whip some up and didn't check to see how much cereal was in the Rice Krispies Box. I discovered too late that it was 1/2 the called for amount. What to do? What to do? I decided for better or worse to add Corn Flakes...
They were a hit! The chief and the littles liked them even better! So now, we always make Rice Krispies Treats with Corn Flakes.
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 Package (10 oz, about 40) Regular Marshmallows or 4 cups miniature marshmallows
- 3 Cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 3 Cups Corn Flakes Cereal
In a large microwave safe bowl, heat butter and marshmallows on high for 2 minutes. Stir. Heat 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Add cereal. Stir until well coated. Using buttered spatula press mixture evenly into 13x9 pan coated with cooking spray. When cool, cut into squares, and enjoy!

Yum! I shall have to try them very soon! Do you ever use marshmallow cream instead? I think I have that instead of marshmallows....Let me know!
@ToniJill - I'm sure marshmallow creme would work great. Just reduce the amount of cereal according to the amount of marshmallow creme. The recipe calls for 10 oz of marshmallows. I think a jar of marshmallow creme is only 7 oz. So I'd probably only add 5 cups of cereal. Just eyeball it. lol
I didn't want to click on your link because I was SURE that I would start craving rice krispie treats. And sure enough I am! I've never tried it with the corn flakes. I've tried Berry Cheerios before though that were quite yummy. I'll try corn flakes next time. Thanks!
