Notes
Use the best and highest quality matcha. It will give the rice krispie treat the best earthy taste and the most vibrant green color.
Sift the matcha green tea powder. In the matcha package it might get clumpy so by taking this extra step it will mix better in the marshmallow butter mixture.
Use fresh marshmallows I buy small bags because we never finish the huge bags. With fresh marshmallows, they will melt easily in the pot and guarantee the rice krispie treats come out soft.
Don’t press the rice krispies too hard after they are poured into the container. Allow some air in between to create a nice airy rice krispie treat.
This small batch recipe is scaled down, I use a plastic 4” X 7” plastic lunch box container lined with parchment paper to mould the rice krispie treat. Feel free to use what you have on hand to shape the rice krispies.
Letting it cool down for 15 minutes will help you cut it easier.
