I think everyone is familiar with Rice Krispie Treats. They are one of the most popular no-bake treats around. The simple ingredients and minimal preparation make them go-to when you just need to whip up a sweet treat quickly.

These Trix Krispie marshmallow treats are a fun twist on a classic.

Using a blend of fruity Trix cereal and rice krispies, these squares are colourful and fun. They only take about ten minutes to prepare, plus a bit of time to set-up.

Crunchy, chewy and sweet, these marshmallow treats are a fun snack for both kids and adults.

💭 Frequently asked questions

Do I need to refrigerate cereal treats?

No need to refrigerate these treats. Just be sure to keep them in an airtight container or ziplock bag or they will dry out quickly.

What size bag of marshmallows do I need to buy?

You will need a 16 ounce bag of mini-marshmallows in order to have enough for both the melted marshmallows and the cup of whole marshmallows.

What size pan should I use?

I use a 9×11 pan for this recipe. I find that it makes the squares the perfect thickness. However, you can use a 9×13 pan, 2 round 8-inch cake pans, or whatever else you have on hand.

Because this recipe doesn’t need to bake, the size of pan will not affect the bars in anyway other than how thick they are.
