C T's Microwave Krispy Treats
"So much easier than the saucepan method! Adapted from the back of a JetPuffed marshmallow package. I've used strawberry and chocolate, and it would work with plain/white if you add a small dash of vanilla. I like to top the bars with sprinkles, nuts, etc. while they're still hot in the pan (so they stick). GREAT for lunchboxes or after-school snacks!"

Easy and delicious! -
Quick and easy! We used chocolate crispies, flavored marshmallows and Mexican vanilla. The kids loved helping. -
What a nice and easy-to-make snack! The vanilla is a great addition. This method is so easy, why would you make rice krispy treats any other way? Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2008 -
Fast, easy and delicious! Thanks for adding the vanilla extract. Nice addition. I did them with plain rice krispies this time but will try with the chocolate version soon :) Thanks for posting -
We made these last night, and they are very gooey and yummy! I never thought of putting vanilla extract in my rice crispy treats, but it was a great addition! I liked being able to do everything easily in the microwave.
