Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 0.5 cups white chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 cups holiday sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once fully melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
Remove the pot from the heat and add the crispy rice cereal. Gently fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture until fully coated.
If using white chocolate chips, fold them in gently so they distribute throughout the mixture without melting completely.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish. Use a greased spatula or lightly buttered hands to press the mixture evenly into the dish.
Optional: Sprinkle the holiday sprinkles evenly over the top of the pressed mixture while it is still warm, gently pressing them in so they adhere.
Allow the mixture to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the Spice Krispies into 12 squares or your desired serving size.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or share them immediately as part of your holiday cookie exchange!
