Storage Instructions
Store your rice krispie treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigerating as it can make them too hard. If you want to make them in advance for an event, you can freeze them. To do so, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip-top bag and store in the freezer for up to 1 month. When ready to serve, thaw at room temperature. Avoid reheating as it can alter their texture.
