Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
Quickly fold in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Press the cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer. Use a greased spatula or buttered hands to press it down gently but firmly. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat over low heat, stirring continuously, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Pour the fudge layer over the pressed cereal mixture in the baking dish and spread evenly using a spatula.
Let the treats cool at room temperature until the fudge is set, about 1-2 hours. For faster cooling, you can refrigerate them for about 30 minutes.
Once set, cut the fudge crispy treats into 16 squares or your desired size. Serve and enjoy!
