Mess and Clean-Up

  • You can line your baking pan with parchment paper or waxed paper to cut down on mess.
  • Grease your spatula or spoon before combining the melted ingredients with the Rice Kripies® cereal.
  • When pressing down the treats, to avoid sticky fingers, try wetting your hands, using the butter stick wrapper or waxed paper
