Ok, so we've all made Rice Crispy treats a million times. I always double the recipe and have it down to a science. I am short so I discovered that if I stand on a stool and use a very big chili pot (making it easier to stir and therefore evenly distribute the melted marshmallows) the results were great. However, I always struggled with the recipe because it calls for 6 cups of rice crispies and I never knew (or remembered) how many cups were in a 12 ounce box.
Well, wonder no more. Here is the the answer:
One 12 ounce box of Rice Crispies is equal to 12 cups of rice crispies, therefore1-12 ounce box will make a double recipe of rice crispies
I use a large pan 16"x10-1/2"x 2" for the double recipe, sprayed with Pam
Also, spray a long piece of wax paper with Pam to use when
patting the warm crispies in the pan so it won't stick.
