Tips and FAQ's
Add Sprinkles to make it Fun and Festive!
While sprinkles aren't needed, they're a fun add to make this Rice Krispie treat extra special.
Especially to make this mug treat kid-friendly!
Can I make more than one?
This recipe is written for one mug, but you can easily double it to make two!
It’s best to microwave them separately, though. Microwaving two mugs at once will impact the cook time.
What size of mug should I use?
Any standard size (8 ounces or larger) coffee mug works! The marshmallows will puff up as it melts in the microwave. Once you add the Rice Krispies, they will deflate.
The most important piece is to use a mug that is microwave safe!
Do I need to grease my mug?
Because you eat the the treat right out of the mug, you do not need to grease.
I do not grease and instead just soak the mug in some warm soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning to remove any cooked on bits.
