Homemade Rice Krispies squares tips

Don’t overheat the marshmallows, so make sure that they melt gradually. You can even add some food colouring to your mixture at the end to make things more fun and festive. If you love making your own snacks, these treats are a great addition to everything else you enjoy making. Serve them with some whipped cream for extra indulgence.
