Making and eating Rice Krispies Treats is a favorite childhood memory of mine. You may be thinking “are Rice Krispie Treats gluten-free?” Traditional Rice Krispies Treats are not gluten-free because Kellogg’s Rice Krispies cereal is not gluten-free. We are a gluten-free family, so I make my kids gluten-free Rice Krispies Treats. Now that gluten-free crispy rice cereal is easier to find at stores like Walmart and Target, my kids get to enjoy this easy no-bake dessert, just like kids without food sensitives. My kids love the Starbucks Marshmallow Dream Bars, so this homemade version is a real treat for them. Plus the homemade Starbucks Dream Bars are much more budget-friendly treat. You can see just how easy it is to make gluten-free Rice Krispies treats in the recipe video. How To Make Gluten-Free Rice Krispies Treats
Is Rice Krispies Cereal Gluten-Free?Kellogg’s Rice Krispies cereal is not gluten-free because it has malt flavor listed in the ingredients. Malt flavor is made from barley, which is a gluten-containing grain. The good news is that there are several brands of gluten-free crispy rice cereal. The two brands I used to make these gluten-free rice Krispie treats are Malto O Meal and Nature’s Path Organic. The Malto O Meal is a brand made and sold at Walmart and comes in a 36-ounce bag. This brand of crispy rice cereal was the closest to the traditional Kellogg’s Rice Krispies. I bought the Nature’s Path Organic Crispy Rice at Target, and it was a 26-ounce bag. Nature’s Path Organic cereal is made with brown rice and was a little different in flavor and texture than the traditional Kellogg’s Rice Krispies. Both brands of gluten-free crispy rice cereals made yummy rice crispy treats. Are Marshmallows Gluten-Free?I have never seen a brand of marshmallows that were not gluten-free, but it is important that you always read the label because companies often change their ingredients. For this recipe, I used both Kraft Jet-Puff and Great Value brand (Walmart) mini marshmallows. Tips For Making Gluten-Free Rice Krispies Treats
What is the Best Way To Store Rice Krispies Treats?I always store them in an air-tight container at room temperature for 2-3 days before they start to get stale. If you need them to last a little longer, you can refrigerate them. If you refrigerate them, it’s best to allow them to come to room-temperate. If you let them sit on the counter for 30 minutes, that should do the trick (if you can wait that long). Can You Freeze Rice Krispie Treats?Yes, you can! They can be placed in a plastic freezer bag and frozen for up to 2 months. You can defrost them overnight in the refrigerator. I think fresh rice Krispies treats are the best, but it is an easy dessert to keep in the freezer too. Dairy-Free and Vegan Rice Krispie TreatsMost of my family is also dairy-free, so I always try and include a dairy-free option to my gluten-free recipes. I used County Crock Plant Butter Sticks (almond oil) for the dairy-free version of this recipe. So now you too can enjoy gluten-free and dairy-free Rice Krispies Treats. You can easily adapt this recipe to be gluten-free and vegan Rice Krispies Treats by using your favorite vegan butter and a brand of vegan marshmallow, like Earth Balance Butter and Dandies Marshmallows.
