Yes, you can bake Rice Krispie treats in a toaster oven. Toaster ovens are versatile appliances and can be used for a variety of cooking tasks, including baking.
Here's a general guide on how to bake Rice Krispie treats in a toaster oven:
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows (or about 40 regular-sized marshmallows)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions:
Grease a small baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. The size of the dish will depend on the capacity of your toaster oven.
In a large microwave-safe bowl or stovetop pan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir until they are completely melted and well combined.
Remove the bowl from the heat source and quickly stir in the Rice Krispies cereal. Mix until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the greased or lined baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased) to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish.
Preheat your toaster oven to about 300-325°F (150-160°C). Toaster ovens can have varying temperature settings, so adjust according to your toaster oven's specifications and your desired level of crispness.
Place the baking dish with the Rice Krispie treats into the preheated toaster oven.
Bake the treats for about 10-15 minutes or until they are lightly golden and set. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Once baked, remove the baking dish from the toaster oven and let the treats cool completely before cutting them into squares or bars.
Please note that toaster ovens may have different heat distributions and wattages, so you may need to adjust the baking time and temperature accordingly. The key is to keep an eye on the treats while they are baking to ensure they don't burn.
Enjoy your homemade Rice Krispie treats!
