Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Gluten-free crisped rice cereal
- 10 ounces Miniature marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper for easy release.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Once the butter has completely melted, add the miniature marshmallows to the pot. Stir constantly with a spatula until the marshmallows are fully melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well to combine.
Add the gluten-free crisped rice cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture. Fold the cereal in with a spatula, ensuring that all pieces are evenly coated.
If desired, gently fold in the gluten-free chocolate chips for an added touch of sweetness and texture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish. Use a lightly greased spatula or clean hands to press the mixture evenly into the dish without compacting it too much.
Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm.
Once cooled, cut into 12 squares using a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
