Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cups Mini marshmallows
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare a 9x9-inch baking dish by spraying it lightly with nonstick cooking spray and lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until they are fully melted and smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and combined thoroughly with the marshmallows.
Remove the pot from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt.
Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal until it is completely coated in the chocolate-marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the utensil with nonstick spray.
Allow the mixture to cool and set at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.
Once set, remove from the dish using the parchment paper and cut into 12 squares or desired serving sizes.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
