15-Minute Miso Rice Krispie Treats
A super simple 15 minute Miso Rice Krispie Treat recipe. Rice Krispie cereal is coated in marshmallows and brown butter flavored with white miso. It’s an effortless dessert that makes you look like you made a lot of effort.
Miso has been an ingredient that I’ve just fallen in love with. Ever since I added them to my Miso Chocolate Chip Cookies I’ve been experimenting with it in both sweet and savory dishes. The other day I used them in these miso rice krispie treats, and wow they were some of the best dessert bars I’ve ever made! The key to this recipe is actually the salt! The salt brings out the miso flavor and the flavor of the other ingredients, making these rice krispie treats some of the best I’ve ever tasted!
Why I used white miso for these Miso Rice Krispie Treats
White miso is made by fermenting soybeans with a large percentage of rice. The resulting miso is sweet which makes it perfect for desserts and lighter savory recipes like salad dressings. In contrast, red misos are saltier and more pungent, and yellow miso is somewhere in the middle flavor wise.

Same experience as review before me – loose cereal, all falling apart. Definitely something wrong with the ratio.
Thanks for the feedback. I will retest and update the recipe.
The butter/cereal ratio is all wrong. I ended up with a pan of loose Rice Krispies with a few occasional clumps. Other recipes I’ve seen for RKT call for 1/4 cup of butter and 5 cups of Rice Krispies.
I should have gone with a recipe with more actual reviews.
Fail.
I’m sorry the recipe did not work out for you. I tested this a few times and found that this worked best. It looks like you may have used more butter than it calls for in the recipe. The recipe only calls for 3 tbsp of butter which is less than what you say other recipes called for (1/4 cup is 4 tbsp of butter).
