How to Make The Apple Cider Rice Krispie Treats
Lightly spray a 9×13-inch pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter and dissolve the salt.
Add 14 ounces of the mini marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth.
Whisk in the apple cider drink mix, and vanilla until fully dissolved.
Remove from the heat and fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
Fold in the remaining 2 ounces of mini marshmallows.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and gently press into an even layer. Avoid packing the treats too firmly.
Let cool for about 1 hour before cutting into 16 squares.
Top Tip
Lightly press the treats into the pan. But don’t press them too firmly into the pan, or they’ll end up hard instead of soft and chewy.
Storage
Like other treats you can store these apple cider treats in an airtight container for up 3 days and they’ll still be ridiculously chewy and full of fall flavor.

FAQ
No. We only tested this recipe using apple cider mix. It works because it has concentrated apple flavor without adding more moisture. Liquid apple juice will make the treats too soft. Or you’ll have to add a lot less of the juice which means there won’t be enough apple flavor.
Sure! We haven’t tested this yet, but I think caramel bits would work well for extra flavor.
No. And honestly you’ll be sacrificing flavor and texture if you store them that way. Instead, store them in an airtight container for a few days. Or freeze them for up to 2 months.
