Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons dairy-free margarine
- 8 cups dairy-free marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
Instructions
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with dairy-free margarine or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large saucepan, melt the dairy-free margarine over medium-low heat until completely liquefied.
Add the dairy-free marshmallows to the melted margarine, stirring continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, mixing well to incorporate it throughout the marshmallow mixture.
Gradually add the crispy rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly until all pieces of cereal are evenly coated.
Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or a piece of wax paper lightly sprayed with oil to press down the mixture evenly across the dish.
Allow the rice crispy squares to cool at room temperature until set, approximately 30 minutes.
Once cooled, cut the rice crispy mixture into squares of desired size.
Serve and enjoy, or store the rice crispy squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
