Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 2 cups gummy worms
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the butter is fully melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth. Remove the pot from heat.
Quickly add the crispy rice cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture and stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
Gently fold in the gummy worms, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture. Reserve a few gummy worms for decoration, if desired.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a greased spatula or lightly oiled hands to press the mixture evenly into the dish. Be careful not to press too hard, as this can make the treats too dense.
If reserved, gently press the extra gummy worms onto the surface for decoration.
Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until set.
Once cooled, lift the treats out of the pan using the parchment paper, and cut them into 16 squares or rectangles.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
