Ingredient Breakdown

Mini marshmallows – I recommend using mini marshmallows because they’re easier to melt. Don’t use stale marshmallows because they will make your Rice Krispie Treats stale.

Nutella – they wouldn’t be Nutella Rice Krispie Treats without this!

Butter – I always recommend using unsalted butter but salted butter works if that’s all you have on hand, just be sure to omit the 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Salt – enhances flavor.

Rice Krispies cereal – you can use any brand of crisp rice cereal. Don’t use stale cereal because it will make your Rice Krispie Treats stale.

How To Make Nutella Rice Krispie Treats

1. Set aside 2oz (1 cup) of mini marshmallows. In a large pot, melt the remaining mini marshmallows, Nutella and cubed butter on medium low heat while stirring constantly. Remove from heat once the marshmallows are just melted.

2. Stir in the salt. Then mix in the Rice Krispie cereal and remaining cup of mini marshmallows.

3. Gently press into the prepared 8×8 inch pan. Let cool to room temperature for 30-60 minutes before slicing.

4. If desired, heat up extra Nutella in the microwave for 15 seconds or until runny then drizzle or pipe over the cooled Rice Krispie Treats. Store Nutella Rice Krispie Treats in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.

Pro Tips For Nutella Rice Krispie Treats

Weigh your ingredients using a kitchen scale! Measuring ingredients by volume is not accurate; baking is a science after all!
Make sure your parchment paper hangs over the sides of the pan for easy removal after cooling!
Use fresh ingredients! Stale marshmallows or cereal will result in stale Rice Krispie Treats.
Don’t over cook the marshmallows otherwise your Rice Krispie Treats will become very hard after cooling! Be sure to remove them from the heat once they’re just melted.
Don’t press the Rice Krispie Treats too firmly into the pan otherwise they will turn out very dense and hard.
