Summertime boredom has set in for the kids. To chase the blues away my daughter made these yummy Trix Krispie Treats. For more fun treats like this one see my desserts page.
We first saw these yummy cereal bars at a candy shop while on vacation. These are a great alternative to the regular rice krispie treats and would make a good breakfast bar for picky eaters. Just like rice krispies treats, these Trix krispie treats are so simple to make. So simple in fact that it makes this a kid-friendly recipe.
One way to keep the mess of making krispie treats to a minimum is to wear butter covered gloves while handling the cereal marshmallow mix. I’ll admit I do not make krispie treats very often for the very reason that my kitchen turns into a glue factory. Using the buttered glove method makes mixing these treats a little more bearable with less mess. I hope you enjoy one of families favorite treats!
Trix Krispie Treats
Ingredients
- 1 bag of mini marshmallows
- 10.7 oz box of Trix cereal
- 1/4 cup butter
Instructions
-
Melt the butter and entire bag of marshmallows in a large saucepan over medium to low heat.
-
Mix in your Trix and stir to coat cereal.
-
Pour into a large greased pan (9 x 13) and press down with a greased gloved hand or spoon.
-
Put in refrigerator for 20 minutes then cut into squares.
Recipe Notes
Cooking Tip** I use {powder-free} latex gloves greased with butter to touch and press down on the crispy treats. I find it to be the least messy way to make these, especially with kids.**

We celebrated my son’s 30th birthday party two weeks ago and somebody brought Trix Marshmallow Treats. Everybody exclaimed how good they were and I thought so too. Bake Sale at church tomorrow and I am donating Trix Marshallow Treats to the sale. 🙂
