Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1.5 cups dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 sheet cooking spray or parchment paper
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly spraying it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture. Gently fold the cereal into the mixture until fully coated.
Add the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips to the mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish. Use a spatula or lightly greased hands to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish.
Let the bars cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes, or until set.
Once cooled, cut the mixture into 12 squares or bars. Serve and enjoy!
