These rice crispy treats made with marshmallow fluff (also called marshmallow creme) are such an easy and delicious no bake treat!
While I usually use mini marshmallows in my rice cereal treats, I recently made a batch of Amish pumpkin whoopie pies that called for marshmallow fluff. I was able to use the leftover marshmallow fluff to make rice crispy treats and they turned out great.
Both my kids and my husband really love rice crispy treats and I love that they are so easy to make! Who doesn’t love a tasty, no bake treat?

Rice crispy treats or rice crispie treats?
Some people say it is rice crispie treats, rice krispie, or rice cereal treats. Rice Krispie is the name brand of rice cereal. All are correct when referring to these yummy treats!
Ingredients needed for this recipe
I love that only four ingredients are needed. For this recipe, you will need:
- Marshmallow fluff (also called marshmallow creme):
- Rice cereal: Such as Rice Krispies. I used a store brand without any problems.
- Butter: I recommend using unsalted since salt content can vary brand to brand.
- Vanilla extract: Pure vanilla extract is best. I recommend using it whenever possible.
What type of pan is needed?
You will need a 8 x 8 inch pan for this recipe. Be sure to grease it well.
How to make
In a large pot, melt your butter on low. Once your butter is melted add in the marshmallow fluff and stir well over low heat.
Once the marshmallow fluff is melted in, turn the heat off and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture over your rice cereal and stir it together.
Gently press it into a well greased 8 x 8 pan. Cool for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving
Tips for this recipe
- Use fresh cereal and marshmallow fluff. Using stale ingredients will really impact the quality of your treats.
- Don’t press the treats down too hard when putting them in the pan. Pushing them down too much will make them tough.
- Use pure vanilla extract for the best results.
- Reduce the heat before adding your vanilla extract in.
