Cris here. We have loved making Aunt Lou’s Holiday Slow Cooker Rice Krispy Treats for years but recently when taping a video (see below) the idea hit me to try one of our favorite slow cooker accessories the next time I made them: Reusuable Silicone Liners.

- Give your butter and marshmallows a good stir, cover for a couple more minutes
- Stir your marshmallow and butter mixture until most of the lumps are gone

Crock Pot Rice Krispy Treats Notes
- I highly recommend using a silicone slow cooker liner! It makes clean up a snap!
- Do not be tempted to melt your butter in the microwave. Melting the butter in your slow cooker ensures your slow cooker is hot enough to melt the marshmallows properly.
- Making rice krispy treats in your slow cooker is great for when you are traveling, don’t want to stand over a hot stove or when you don’t want to heat up the kitchen! It is also great for making them with kids!
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
