Product Information

As you can see, Rice Krispies are not the worst offender—and they’re not the best, either. Their sugar content is similar to several other popular brands.

Transfer the marshmallow treat mixture to the pan. I like to line the pan first with parchment paper so that I can easily pull the treats out to slice. Rice Krispies have added sugar. One of the big differences between Rice Krispies and plain rice (or “puffed rice” cereal) is that Rice Krispies have sugar. Of course, this sugar is processed, high-glycemic, and adds more empty calories. We’ll cover more about the sugar content of Rice Krispies below. None of the ingredients in Rice Krispies are particularly high in protein, but there’s still a bit of protein from the rice. About 8% of Rice Krispies calories or less come from protein. Meanwhile, all the rest come from carbs. So, most people would also agree: Rice Krispies Treats are not very healthy. 8. Are Rice Krispies Vegan?But let’s look closer at the numbers.

The Best Rice Krispie Treats The first big problem food for acne is dairy: Milk, cheese, ice cream, and so on.

So for me personally, any amount of “added sugar” is a negative. Unfortunately, most popular foods today come with a bunch of sugar. Firstly, melt the butter in a pan then add in your marshmallows, keep stirring until fully smooth then add in the rice krispies. Rice Krispies treats are not very healthy. In addition to the Rice Krispies cereal, which is already mostly empty calories, it also has saturated fat from butter, and extra sugar from marshmallows.The American Heart Association recommends a limit of 25g of sugar per day for women and 36g per day for men. But no added sugar is needed for human health. Really, the healthiest diet would likely just have natural sugar from fruit and whole foods. If using the salt (¼ teaspoon) and any flavorings, add them in with the marshmallow mixture here and stir to combine fully. In a large pan over medium-low heat, melt your fat (70 grams, 5 tablespoons) of choice. Alternatively, you can place it in a large microwave safe bowl, and melt it in the microwave. Start by melting the fat you choose. I love browning the butter for more of an elevated flavor, but you can’t go wrong with any of the options! Then add in the marshmallows to melt over low heat. If you are using any flavorings, you would also add them here. It is important that the marshmallows do not get too hot during this process or the treats can become too hard once cooled. Add the mini marshmallows (297 grams, 10.5 ounce bag) to the pan and stir continuously with a silicone spatula until they are completely melted. Don't turn the heat up during this process as the final marshmallow treats can get hard if the marshmallow gets too hot. Alternatively, you can add the marshmallow to the bowl and microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring in between until fully melted.
