Large Batch Rice Krispie Treats

5 from 4 votes
The perfect recipe and tips for making a large batch of Rice Krispie Treats, either for a crowd or a bake sale!
Prep Time 20 minutes
Servings12 jumbo treats or 48 regular sized treats

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ sticks real butter 12 tablespoons
  • 16 cups + additional 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 12 cups rice krispie cereal
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Line a 12 x 18” rimmed baking sheet with parchment or foil and spray lightly with non-stick spray.  Set aside.
  • In a very large mixing bowl add rice krispies and 4 cups mini marshmallows, set aside.
  • In a large stock pot on the stove top, melt the butter and add the 16 cups marshmallows.  If you feel your pot isn’t large enough, add half the marshmallows at a time and let them melt down a bit before you add the rest.  Melt completely and stir in salt.
  • Once melted, quickly pour over cereal mixture and stir well until all cereal is coated.  Transfer mixture to prepared pan. Spray your hands with non-stick spray (or rub with a little butter) so you can gently press down mixture to the edges of the pan.  
  • Let treats set until firmed up and then lift your foil/parchment out of the pan for easy cutting.

Notes

Tip:  It’s a large quantity to stir at once.  If you don’t have an extra large bowl, I’ve used a large roasting pan in a pinch!
