Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Gluten-free crispy rice cereal
- 10 ounces Mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal of the treats.
In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Be sure to keep the heat low to prevent the butter from burning.
Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
Add the gluten-free crispy rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Gently fold the cereal into the mixture until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Quickly transfer the mixture into the prepared 9x13-inch pan.
Use a buttered spatula or parchment paper to gently press the mixture evenly into the pan. Avoid pressing too hard as this can make the treats too dense.
Allow the rice krispie treats to cool and set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
Once set, cut into squares or rectangles to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
