How can I fix very dry and hard rice krispie treats? ?

Question

I used a mixture of mini and regular marshmallows (it's what I had on hand), and instead of being chewy, they are rock hard! Any way to fix it?

Answer 1

Were the marshmallows old and not so soft to start with?

That would do it.

Answer 2

no probably not now they are together and made. I would say they are hard because you cooked the marshmallows too long though. Nothing much you can do for them though, sorry.

Answer 3

try putting each one in the microwave for about 6 seconds (maybe 10 if your microwave isn't great) just before eating it... Then gobble it up before it gets hard again.  

I agree that you probably cooked the marshmallows too long- better luck next time.

Answer 4

Put them in a sealed container (tupperware). Place a few slices of bread in the container. The Rice Krispies will absorb the moisture out of the bread. You can do this with any bakegoods...cookies, brownies, cake, bars...etc...Best Wishes!

Answer 5

If they are hard and dry they are not Rice Krispy Treats.

Not much of a chance of fixing what you have already made.

You need butter (the real stuff) and marshmallows or marshmallow puff. Melt together and add the Rice Krispy Cereal and blend well. Form it in a pan and cool then cut in shapes or squares.

Rice Krispie Marshmallow Treats

This recipe comes from a Kellogg's Rice Krispies Box.

    * 1/4 cup butter or margarine (1/2 stick)

    * 6 - 10 ozs. regular marshmallows (about 40) or 4 cups miniature marshmallows

    * 6 cups Rice Krispies

Melt butter in 3-quart saucepan. Add marshmallows and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are melted and mixture is syrupy. Remove from heat.

Add Rice Krispies and stir until well coated.

Press warm mixture evenly and firmly into buttered 13 X 9-inch pan. Cut into squares when cool.

Yeild: 24 (2-inch)squares

Variation: Choco-Scotch Bars - - Follow directions for making Marshmallow treats above except, when melted marshmallow mixture is removes from heat, stir in 1/4 cup peanut butter before adding Rice Krispies. After spreading Rice Krispies- marshmallow mixture in pan, melt together in a small heavy saucepan, over low heat, 1 cup (6-oz. pkg.) butterscotch morsels; stirring until well blended. Remove from heat: spread evenly over Rice Krispies-marshmallow mixture in pan. Cool until firm. Cut into bars.
