See how easy it is to make perfect Rice Krispie Treats in the microwave! This wonderful Rice Krispie Treats recipe is a single serving version of a classic dessert. Only three ingredients needed and so easy to make.
Rice Krispie Treats are a favorite dessert from my childhood. In fact, it was probably one of the first recipes my mother let me cook by myself. What could go wrong? Marshmallows, a little butter, Rice Krispie cereal – so easy to throw together.
I first posted this “Rice Krispie Treats Recipe For One” a few years ago when my kids were in college. I wanted to give them an easy recipe they could make in their dorm rooms. The photos I took for that old post made me cringe; poor lighting, out of focus, and just plain old boring.

Since this dessert recipe is a total classic, I thought it was high time to update the photos and have a little fun with creating this single serving favorite again.
I’ve mentioned in earlier recipes how much I love the little 5-inch dishes for my recipes. These baking dishes are the perfect size when cooking for one. I ordered mine from Amazon but I’ve seen similar sized dishes that work quite well at other stores.

Nice simple recipe for one or two ….
Thank you, Christina.
I am so happy I found this recipe! I love Rice Krispie treats, but since I live alone, I never make them because I don’t want to eat the whole pan myself. Now that won’t be a problem. The only possible problem I can see is I might make this recipe to often 😊
Hi Laura, I love this recipe so much and for the exact same reasons you do. It’s great for portion control and with Rice Krispies treats, I have absolutely no will power. This mini size is perfect for me 🙂 Thank you so much for letting me know like the recipe.
Love the concept of cooking for one. Kids grown and out of house. Ex-wife moved on. Not found of fancy foods or left overs. Have freezed extra food but except for soups things get thrown out(my dogs love leftovers.). Thanks again.
