Black Sesame Rice Krispies Treats Recipe (2024)

I'm here with another means to the same end! The best, easiest, vegan krispie treats are -so much more easily- made with the following ratio: one-third cup each of maple syrup and tahini; 3 cups of the cereal. A fantastic, exotic taste without fuss or nasty cleanup.

". . . stir the blend like you’re frying rice."As someone who rarely fries rice, I have to ask . . . what does this mean?

@Veronica: So you made significant changes to the recipe, then dissed it? Play fair.

I just made them with Sprouts vegan vanilla marshmallows, and it worked perfectly. They take a little longer to melt, but otherwise taste delicious.

An old stylist trick: line the pan with foil first. Even better use non-stick foil (made our lives and work easier.)

My partner makes black sesame rice crispy squares with black sesame paste, which takes them to a new level. Finding the paste and paying for it is another thing. To this recipe, I would add one to two heaping tablespoons of the paste at the same time you add the marshmallows, depending on your taste.

These are delicious. Not too sweet! Made exactly as recipe says.

They are good but nothing to rave about. I might look for higher quality toasted sesame oil if I make these again. I did NOT add the oil to the mix, just greased the glass pan and toasted seeds. My standard receipe uses vanilla extract but not this one, so i used 16 oz of large marshmellows instead of the 12 oz this mix calls for. Also, the plastic bag the cereal comes in makes a great nonstick surface to press down the warm mix into a pan. Just cut it into a large square

Yes, I'm replying to my own review with an update: I thought about these all day today. Couldn't wait to come home and eat one. These are SO good.

Maybe you should try following the recipe.

Absolutely delicious, especially served with milk. I used white sesame seeds because that's all that my local grocery store had; I dry toasted them first.

Made as written, easy and delicious. I doubled the batch knowing they would be a winner. The seaseme seeds cut the sweetness and make this a nice adult treat.

Any idea how well these work using vegan marshmallows?

marshmallows from Trader Joe's are vegan.

Mine look browner. I think because my sesame oil is good japanese toasted sesame oil, and very dark. Otherwise I made by the recipe. They are delicious. Like black sesame ice cream, but crunchy and sticky.

Curiously good. I wasn’t sure what I thought at first but now keep going back for more. I am not a big sweets person, so, I like the balance of flavors. I used Maldon salt.

Rice Krispie treat recipes are typically a pass with my family. Not so with these! They strike the perfect balance of sweet, nutty, chewy and crunchy. My family scarfed these right up. The recipe was perfect as written although I did use a heavier hand with the sesame seed on the advice of one commenter. Delicious!!

Delicious with a matcha glaze! 1 cup of melted white chocolate and 1/2 tsp matcha

I wanted these to be good, got a little worried when they were cooking—maybe smelled a little too savory?—but voila, they turned out even better than I had hoped for! Followed the recipe exactly, though I did use cheapo Rice Krispies, hehe. Delish!

Amazing, 10/10. If you don’t mind (or even prefer) your treats looking a little more rustic and less chunky than pictured, the recipe as-is fits nicely smooshed into a standard 9x13 glass dish.

so yummy!

Does anyone know why the heck mine turned to stone once cooled? Flavor was A-1. The only thing I can surmise was the vegan marshmellows I used as they were all that was left at the market. Also, might over stirring the melted mess cause problems?

A really amazing way to elevate a very nostalgic children's treat. This really is a winning flavor combination!

No substitutions. No notes. 10/10 delicious.

Agree with others who’ve said that finishing with a flaky salt amps up the flavor. Definitely use the weight measures- my 38 grams of sesame seeds wound up being 1/3 cup not 1/4!

Made as directed, very good!

These are incredibly delicious as the recipe is published. I decided to trust Eric Kim's expertise instead of going by comments, and I have to say, if you like black sesame bao, you will love these krispie treats. They are also certainly a lot less time-consuming to make. Thanks for this super easy and super tasty recipe!

Cannot say enough good things about this recipe. Enough with the suggested changes and editions - This is another Eric Kim home run. Making again and again.

After pressing into the pan, I put it under the broiler on high for about 2 minutes to get a toasty brown top. Unreal how good these are.

WOW. Followed mtmartini’s recommendation and added 2 tablespoons of black sesame paste to the butter. Also added some miso paste just before adding the marshmallows. Incredible! Savoury, sweet, crispy, chewy. Won’t make normal Rice Krispie treats ever again!
