Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup colorful sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray, and set it aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once fully melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Add the crispy rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly until all the cereal is coated.
Press the cereal mixture evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish. Use a greased spatula or lightly buttered hands to avoid sticking.
While the bars are cooling, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the bars using a spoon or piping bag. For an extra fun touch, sprinkle the colorful sprinkles over the chocolate before it sets.
Let the bars cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the bars are fully set, cut them into 12 even squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
