- Melt the butter in a pot.

- Place the mixture into a tin and press down.
- Let cool before cutting into bars.
How long do they last?
These rice krispy treats will keep well for up to 3 days when stored in an air tight container. If you don’t plan on serving them on the day you make them, it’s best not to cut them into bars as the edges can dry out a little. You can also wrap the bars individually in plastic wrap.
Why are my rice krispie treats hard?
The butter and marshmallows should be melted on a low heat. It can be tempting to speed up the process by turning the heat to high, but don’t!
Can you freeze rice krispy treats?
Rice krispy bars will freeze well for up to 6 weeks. Place the squares in layers in an air tight container, separated by parchment. Let them stand at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Recipe Notes and Tips
- It’s much easier to chip your double stuff Oreos if they have been chilled. I like to put them in the freezer for about 15 minutes before chopping to keep all of the stuffing from coming out when chopping.
- Heat the pot on a low heat for the softest and chewiest treats.
- Don’t use less marshmallows than stated in the recipe or your bars will not hold together.
- Don’t use old or stale marshmallows as they can dry out quickly.
- Let it cool completely before cutting into squares.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
