Tips for Making Homemade Rice Krispies Treats
One of the best tips I have learned for spreading out a treat like this hot cocoa Rice Krispies treats is to spray your wooden spoon or spatula with a non-stick cooking spray in advance. It helps the melted marshmallow to spread out instead of sticking to the spoon. Of course, one of the best parts of making these is eating the bits off the spoon, but if you are trying to make less of a mess, this is my best tip!
