FAQ
Can you freeze Rice Krispie Treat treats?
Rice Krispies treats can be frozen. Let the cookie bars cool completely, cut them into squares, and then wrap each Square in a piece of wax paper or parchment paper and place them in a gallon freezer bag. You can freeze these no-bake cookie bars for up to 3 months.
Why are my scotcharoos hard?
If your statues are hard it is probably from over boiling. The recipe calls for only 3 minutes of boiling on medium heat. Also, let your Scotcheroos come up to room temperature before eating.
