The Secret to Perfect Rice Krispie Treats- without the mess!


One thing I struggle with is always wanting to have a sweet snack ready and waiting on my kitchen counter. This isn't a healthy habit. I try my hardest to make sure we always have fruits and veggies and most of the time they hit the spot when I'm in the mood for a snack. But sometimes, I just need dessert, need.

Enter- Rice Krispie Treats (not a sponsored post, guys). I love these things. So easy, the kids can help (hello, sanity saver!) and they hit the spot without being too sweet or too unhealthy. Only 3g of fat per serving is better than a cookie!

One problem with making these delicious squares is that they can be super sticky to get pressed into the pan. I use this little trick to make this recipe even easier than it already is...

Plastic wrap. Tear off a piece of plastic wrap and use it as a marshmallow shield between the treats and your fingers. 
 That's it.
Super easy, right? The result is perfectly pressed treats with absolutely no sticky fingers. This is great when the kids help out for obvious reasons- no chasing the 5-year-old around the house trying to prevent stickiness on your throw pillows... don't ask me how I know.

Have a sweet and happy Monday, friends!
