You want Rice Krispie Treats but don’t want to cook an entire pan of them? This Rice Krispie Treat in a Mug requires just three ingredients, two minutes, and a microwave. Only one Rice Krispie Treat for you! Next, try my chocolate cup cake.
I found one day that I didn’t have any dark chocolate, and the way I reacted was as if someone had informed me a dinosaur had devoured my vehicle.
I burst into tears, became very distraught, and sat on the floor of our pantry for 10 minutes. Why? Nobody knows.
So I went with a marshmallow solution: a single serving Rice Krispie treat in a cup.

Tips for making the best single Rice Krispie Treat
This dish is quite easy and would be suitable for making with children since it does not need the use of an oven or other sophisticated processes.
- 2 tbsp butter in a cup, swirl it around, then add marshmallows and heat again. This manner, the butter functions as a nonstick spray, making it simpler to combine the ingredients. Melt 1
- Start with 2 cups of Rice Krispies cereal, then add more if you want it thicker. My cereal-to-marshmallow ratio is more marshmallow-heavy, but to each their own. This proportion is also simpler to consume with a spoon. Just one more
- Additionally, choose a big enough cup so that the marshmallows do not overflow. The smallest cup I use has an 8-ounce capacity, and the marshmallows still extend up over the top for a few seconds before falling back into the mug as it finishes steaming. To allow for stirring and other activities, I suggest a 12 ounce cup.
- Make use of fresh marshmallows! This cannot be overstated. If you attempt to use a bag of little marshmallows that have been sitting in the back of your cupboard since last Christmas and have the texture of small doorstops, they will not melt and you will be disappointed. Fresh, squishy, soft marshmallows are required!
- And, for that matter, use fresh cereal. You will also notice if you use stale cereal.
