Tips For Storing Your Chocolate Orange Rice Krispie Treats Recipe

The key thing you should do for your Rice Krispie treats recipe is to keep them in an air tight container. Otherwise they'll taste stale.

I also like to keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days to ensure a good bite. Although it's rare for them to be hanging around by then.
