Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons dairy-free margarine
- 4 cups mini marshmallows (dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lightly spraying it with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the dairy-free margarine over medium-low heat.
Once the margarine has melted, add the dairy-free mini marshmallows to the saucepan.
Stir the marshmallows continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in a large bowl.
Using a spatula or large spoon sprayed with cooking spray, gently fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture until fully combined.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan with the back of a spoon or spatula, ensuring it reaches all the corners.
Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature for about an hour before slicing into squares.
Once cooled, cut into 12 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
