These low fat Rice Krispie Treats taste just like the good old Rice Krispie Treats you make on the stove top.
The real "treat" is that there's a lot less mess!
And these crispy treats don't need your undivided attention to prevent scorching, either - since they are made in a crock pot!

What would be your thoughts on adding chocolate chips into these rice krispie treats? Would they be able to withstand melting the slow cooker? Thanks!
Martha McKinnon
Hi Julie, I'm afraid the chocolate would not stand all the time in the slow cooker. You might be able to add them right at the end.

When transferring the mixture to the prepared pan, using a sheet of wax paper to pat it into place is easy.

I'm a little confused. After you cook the mixture in a crock pot, stir it, then add it to the pan, isn't it done? It says at the end there to "Let cook and cut into 12 bars." after it says to put it in the pan. Is there more cooking to be done after the crock pot...? Thanks!
Martha McKinnon
Hi Lacee,
Sorry for the confusion. It was a typo that should have set "let COOL and cut into 12 bars." I've fixed the post. Thanks for letting me know.

Susan
