Gluten-Free Rice Krispie Bars
These quick and easy gluten-free Rice Krispie treats are made with just four ingredients — gluten-free marshmallows, butter, vanilla, and GF rice bubbles. Perfect for lunchboxes, parties, or a fun activity with the kids. Chewy, crispy, and totally delicious! No oven needed.
Ingredients
- 100 grams butter
- 250 grams gluten-free marshmallows
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 cups gluten-free rice bubbles / crisped rice cereal
Instructions
- Use a rectangle-sized tray (approx. 9 x 13 inch / 23 x 33 cm) and line it with baking paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
- In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth. Turn off the heat and stir in vanilla essence.
- Add the gluten-free rice bubbles and stir quickly to combine everything evenly.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tray. Use a lightly greased spatula or a piece of baking paper to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the tray.
- Let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes (or refrigerate for faster setting), then lift it out and slice into squares or bars.
Notes
Storage Instructions
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- For longer freshness, keep them in the fridge for up to a week (they’ll be a bit firmer but still delicious).
- You can also freeze them for up to 2 months — just layer between baking paper in an airtight container.
Fun Variations:
- 🍫 Chocolate Topped: Melt some gluten-free chocolate and pour over the top before setting.
- 🌈 Sprinkles: Add gluten-free rainbow sprinkles before pressing into the tray for party vibes.
- 🥜 Nut Butter Swirl: Stir in a tablespoon or two of peanut butter for a nutty flavour twist.
