Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 6 ounces butterscotch chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper, then coating with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat until fully melted and slightly golden, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the butterscotch chips until fully melted and incorporated into the marshmallow mixture. Stir constantly to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal one cup at a time, ensuring each cup is evenly coated with the butterscotch mixture.
Quickly transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it down gently with a spatula or your hands sprayed with cooking spray to create an even layer. Do not press too hard, as this can make the treats too dense.
Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes or until fully set.
Once set, cut the butterscotch Rice Krispie treats into 16 equal squares or desired portions.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
