Why Are My Rice Krispie Treats Hard?

 

If your Rice Krispie Treats are hard as soon as you are done making them, then there are a couple of things you can do to avoid this happening in the future.

 

Rice Krispie Treats often turn out hard from using stale marshmallows. Always use new fresh marshmallows when you make Rice Krispie Treats.
