How much should I sell the Rice Krispies treats for at a bake sale?
I’d say these could easily go for $1.00. They are large, individually packaged and are a great value.
Can I make these Rice Krispies treats ahead of time?
You can make these a day before and wrap them to keep them fresh.
What sells best at bake sales?
Presentation is everything. We recently went to a dessert auction for our local scout troop. I brought jumbo chocolate chip cookies, individually wrapped, and placed in an inexpensive $2 basket. I made a quick label and wouldn’t you know? That basket of cookies was auctioned off for $50 when plates of cookies next to it went for $10-$15. Were my cookies better? Probably not, but they were packaged to sell vs. set on a paper plate with plastic wrap.
Jumbo treats:
Large cupcakes, big cookies, jumbo Rice Krispies treats.
Desserts dipped in chocolate:
Chocolate strawberries, chocolate dipped marshmallows, chocolate dipped cookies. These looks fancy and will go quickly as well.
Desserts on a stick:
These are easy to carry and kids LOVE them! Marshmallows on a stick (dipped in chocolate), cake pops, etc.

Thick and spongy bake sale rice Krispies treats, made even better by stirring in extra mini marshmallows! Cut into large squares to serve or package for your next bake sale. These will go fast!
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 3 10 oz packages mini marshmallows
- 12 cups crispy rice cereal

Instructions
-
In a LARGE microwaveable bowl add butter and 2 packages of marshmallows*. Reserve the 3rd package for later.
-
Microwave in 45 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and gooey. Stir.

Place cereal in a large bowl or stock pot. Pour melted marshmallow/butter over and stir until completely combined. Add last package of mini marshmallows. Stir.

Pour mixture into a large baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. I use a 13×18″ jelly roll pan. Spray you hands with non stick cooking spray or grease with a small amount of butter and pack down really well.

Sprinkle with sprinkles and use you hands to pat down to make sure they stick.

Refrigerate until firm.

Cut into large squares.

*You can also melt marshmallows and butter over the stove and pour onto cereal.

April 6, 2017 at 11:34 amThis looks real good but I’m confused about the amount of marshmallows. Is that three TEN ounce bags of marshmallows?
Brandy says
April 6, 2017 at 11:52 amHi Tasha! YES! 3 (10 oz. bags). It looks like my new recipe plug-in is getting confused a bit. Thanks for letting me know! I’ve updated it 🙂
Tasha says
April 6, 2017 at 11:57 amAh ok, that makes sense. Thank you for the quick response! 🙂 Looking forward to trying them tomorrow for a bake sale.
Tasha says
April 6, 2017 at 12:12 pmSorry, one more thing: About how many large squares did this recipe make altogether?
Brandy says
April 6, 2017 at 12:56 pmIt made about 18 4″x3″ treats. Just adjust to get more or less 🙂

Brandy says
April 26, 2018 at 4:46 amHi Mary! When we sold these at a girls camp fundraiser we wrapped them in plastic wrap. It wasn’t cutesy, but it worked well! I hope that helps!
