Storing Rice Krispie Treats
Storing the gooey Rice Krispie treats can sometimes be challenging. Ultimately we want to put it in the refrigerator since the butter could potentially melt. Some people leave them in the pan on top of the stove, exposing them to air and different conditions.
The best way to store your Rice Krispie treats is in an air-tight container. Plop them in, make sure the lid is sealed and you are good to go! We always leave them in a place that will not be exposed to high heat or cold temperatures, so typically, right on the countertop. We hope you loved this recipe, now, get baking!
