Instant Pot Rice Krispy Treats (Video)
This week for my weekly YouTube video I decided to have a little fun. While these Instant Pot rice krispy treats might not be the most groundbreaking recipe they are still super yummy. My son joined in the fun for this video too. Make sure to watch until the end for all his outtakes.
I really like making rice krispy treats in the Instant Pot. Here’s why:
- The pot is big enough you can easily double the recipe and the marshmallows will all fit. This is especially true if you have an 8 quart pot.
- Sometimes the marshmallows get too puffy and crazy in the microwave…do you know what I’m talking about?
- You can easily clean up the stickly marshmallow pot afterwards by warming up water in it with the saute function. Once the water is hot you can easily scrub off the marshmallows.
Some tips on rice krispy treats:
- Add in M&Ms or other leftover Halloween candy. Just stir in the candy (chop up the candy bars) with the rice krispies. They’ll make good rice krispy treats even better.
- Use fresh marshmallows. If you use stale marshmallows the rice krispy treats will be harder than you like.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container so they don’t get hard. Sometimes I put a little piece of bread in with them. This keeps them soft. Sort of like what happens when you put a piece of bread in with brown sugar.
- Use half cocoa krispies and half rice krispies. Or get creative with other types of cereal like fruity pebbles.

What Pressure Cooker Do You Use?
To make Instant Pot Rice Krispy Treats I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly. It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.

What do you think of oil instead of butter. Or melt coco with peanut butter instead of butter I never have butter in the house
I would do peanut butter over oil.
Salted Nutella rice crispy treats are fantastic…use strawberry flavored marshmallows for strawberry treats…salted caramel treats…instant coffee crystals for coffee flavored treats…and on, and on, and on…

Jay,
You did a fantastic job on the video! Your mom is a good teacher. You could be a great chef someday!
Wow!! Loved the video❤️
Excellent job 🙌🏻
How long ahead of time can you make and store these?
Making batches for Christmas.
Recently I learned that you can freeze rice krispy treats! So wrap them up tight in plastic and freeze until ready to deliver.
Do you have recipes for the 3qt size instant pot?
Mostly you can halve my recipes and they’ll turn out great in the 3 quart.
You can also add a tablespoon or two of peanut butter to these, which make them divine!!
Oh Julene, you are speaking my language!!!
The video was adorable — that kid has a future in entertainment, for sure!!
Haha! Thanks Jay I will tell him you said so 🙂
