Neapolitan Rice Krispies Treats FAQs
Yes, you can use a microwave to make these treats. Below are the instructions for making Krispie Treats in a microwave:
1. Prepare a microwave-safe bowl by greasing it with cooking spray. Add the chocolate chips, butter, and marshmallows to the mixture.
2. Cook for one minute on high power, then remove and swirl until the butter and marshmallows are completely combined.
3. Stir the marshmallows until they are melted, then remove them from heat.
4. In order to melt the marshmallows completely, reheat in 15-second increments, stirring after each one.
Crisped rice — rice and sugar paste that has been shaped into rice — is used to make Rice Krispies, which expand when baked, forming thin and hollowed-out walls that are crispy and crisp.
The Neapolitan Rice Krispies do not require refrigeration. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. However, if you reside in a humid region, you may want to keep these goodies chilled to avoid them from becoming sticky.
If you add more butter, your Rice Krispie treats will have a strange soggy texture and stale taste. Try using less butter next time. If you’re cooking with margarine, that could make your Krispies have that stale taste.
