Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray and set it aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until completely liquefied.
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir constantly with a spatula until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully combined.
Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the pot and gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared 9x13-inch pan. Lightly grease your hands or a spatula with butter and press the mixture evenly into the pan. Be careful not to press too hard to keep the treats soft and gooey.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the Rice Krispie layer in the pan, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.
Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set. For faster cooling, you can place the pan in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Once the chocolate has hardened, cut the treats into 16 squares using a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!
