Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Optional: Sprinkles or chopped nuts for topping
Instructions
Prepare a 9-inch round or square cake pan by lightly greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes in total.
Once melted, immediately stir the mini marshmallows into the chocolate mixture until they are completely coated and starting to soften from the warmth.
Quickly add the vanilla extract and salt, stirring to combine.
Pour the Rice Krispies cereal into the bowl with the chocolate mixture. Gently fold the cereal into the mixture until all the cereal is evenly coated with the chocolate.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Using a spatula or your hands (lightly greased to avoid sticking), press the mixture firmly into the pan to create an even layer.
If using sprinkles or chopped nuts for topping, scatter them over the surface and press lightly to ensure they stick.
Let the cake set at room temperature for about 1-2 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes to set faster.
Once set, remove the cake from the pan and cut it into slices or squares. Serve and enjoy!
