How to Make Cherry Pie Rice Krispy Treats
Melt the Butter and Marshmallows
In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.
Add the Cherry Filling
Stir in the cherry pie filling until it’s evenly mixed into the marshmallow mixture.
This will give the treats their sweet cherry flavor and light pink color.
Mix in the Rice Krispies
Remove the pan from the heat and add the Rice Krispies cereal.
Stir until all the cereal is coated in the marshmallow mixture.
Press into the Pan
Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.
Transfer the mixture into the pan and gently press it down into an even layer. Try not to press too hard so the treats stay soft and gooey.
Cool and Slice
Let the bars cool for about 30 minutes, then cut into squares.
If you want, you can spoon a little extra cherry pie filling on top before serving.
Jennie’s Thoughts
I love how simple these treats are, but the cherry pie filling makes them feel a little more special than regular Rice Krispy treats.
They stay really soft and gooey, and the cherry flavor adds a fun twist that people always notice. They’re great for parties or when you need a quick dessert that everyone will enjoy.
Plus, anything that combines marshmallows and fruit filling is usually a win in my book.
Tips for the Best Rice Krispy Treats
