Ingredients You Will Need
How to Make the Marshmallow Mixture
Step 1: Melt the butter in a large saucepan on medium-low heat.
Step 2: Add the Mini Marshmallows to the melted butter and on medium-low heat, stir the mixture until it is completely melted.
Step 3: When the marshmallows are melted, take the pan off the heat.
Adding the Gingerbread Flavors
Step 4: Add the Molasses to the pan.
Step 5: Add the Cinnamon, Ginger, and Nutmeg to the marshmallow mixture.
Step 6: Stir until combined.
Adding the Rice Krispies Cereal
Step 7: Add the Rice Krispie Cereal to the marshmallow mixture.
Step 8: Gently fold the Rice Krispie Cereal into the marshmallow mixture.
Assembly Instructions
Step 9: Spoon the mixture into a 9×13″ pan. (We line the pan with a piece of parchment paper to make removing the treats from the pan easier when they are cooled.)
Step 10: Lightly press the mixture into the pan.
Step 11: If you would like, sprinkle the top with Christmas Sprinkles.
Step 12: Let the Rice Krispie Treats cool and then remove the treats from the pan.
Step 13: Cut the treats into individual pieces.
Serving/Storing Instructions
Rice Krispie Treats will last 2-3 days at room temperature in an air-tight container before they start to get stale. You can extend that timeline a few days if you store them in the refrigerator and then take them out about 30 minutes before you eat them. They freeze up great though and that is what we do if we want to make these ahead of time for a party or a family gathering. They defrost very quickly and taste great once they are defrosted. You can keep them in the freezer for up to a couple of months.
