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 16 oz 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.
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.**

atHello I noticed you didnt mention the ounces or grams of the marshmallow bag to get or how many cups of cereal do you use I’ll like to make these for my daughter’s party please help me out, thank you. I’ll be making enough for 120 people.

atHi Natalie,
The ounces for the marshmallows is a 16 oz bag. As for the cups, the cereal is bigger than the normal Rice Krispy version. My advice to you is to make the first batch and go by the size of the treat you want to make. You can make them tall/thick or thin. It has been a while since I made this recipe and I think I used the entire box. It is the smaller box of cereal. I hope this helps.
