Notes

You can drizzle the microwavable Rice Krispie treats with melted chocolate, likewise white chocolate as delicious toppings. In addition to that, you can add peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, and crushed sandwich cookies.
Also, put sprinkles on top or combine them with the Rice Krispies cereal. Likewise, you can add various nuts of your desire into the mixture for a salty and sweet taste. Additionally, use equal amounts of coconut oil as a substitute for the butter if you need a dairy-free option.
Furthermore, if you find yourself with the problem of why your microwave rice krispie treats are not sticking together there are several solutions. Possible reasons could be too many marshmallows or too much butter in the recipe. If they are not entirely cooled, they are more likely to fall apart instantly while warm. As a result, they will be stickier.
That is why it would help if you use exact ingredients and allow them to cool. Because of this, your Rice Krispie squares will form and meld together quite nicely.
I recommend you use fresh marshmallows. However, if unavailable, you can use store-bought marshmallows instead. Also, wet your hands with a little bit of water. Doing this keeps the Rice Krispie treats from sticking to your hands. Likewise, you can spray cooking spray on your hands. Moreover, you can store the microwavable rice crispy treats for two days at room temperature in an airtight sealed container.
In addition to that, if you want to freeze the microwave Rice Krispie treats, it is best to place them in a layer. Then, separate them with wax paper in an airtight container. Because of this, freezing the treats will give them a shelf life of up to six weeks. Afterward, thaw for about fifteen minutes at room temperature before serving.
