Homemade Rice Krispie Treats are the classic no-bake cookie recipe. The treats have become immensely popular not only because they are easy to make, but also because variations of the original recipe abound. And their ingredients are inexpensive.

This original version is simple to make at home. With just three ingredients – crisp rice cereal, marshmallows, and melted butter or margarine – it is an easy cookie recipe for kids to make. As an added bonus, the bars are a gluten-free cookie!

Make a batch or two. Wrap them and use them in lunches and for snacks and you'll save money!

Prep time: <10 minutes
Setting time: 15-30 minutes
Makes about 20-25 treats, depending upon how you cut them.

If you like to make or bake or build or create – or if you’re into DIY – you’ll want to spend some time wandering around Bluprint’s site for ideas (formerly Craftsy.)

I confess that I nearly go on overload when I log on. It’s so much fun! You can search all kinds of classes and downloadable tutorials. Just tune in on your own schedule and re-watch as often as you like. Plus find plenty of support along the way in chat forums with fellow enthusiasts in art, quilting, paper craft, embroidery, photography, gardening, spinning, woodworking, baking, cooking, jewelry making…

One thing I like to do is regularly check Bluprint’s free classes listing. Have fun. I know I will.
