Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray. Set it aside.
In a large non-stick saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, being careful not to brown it.
Add the mini marshmallows to the pan. Stir constantly with a spatula until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the saucepan. Stir gently until all of the cereal is well coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared 9x13 inch dish. Using a buttered spatula or wax paper, press the mixture evenly into the dish, but do not compact it too tightly.
Allow the Rice Krispies treats to cool in the dish at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before slicing them into squares and serving.
Enjoy your classic Rice Krispies treats!
