Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 10 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 tablespoon Instant coffee powder
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 4 ounces Deli ham (thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay the deli ham slices flat on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the ham with vegetable oil, then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and a pinch of salt.
Bake the ham in the oven for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and caramelized. Once done, let it cool completely before chopping into bite-sized pieces.
In a large, nonstick saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until they are fully melted and smooth.
Dissolve the instant coffee powder into the melted marshmallow mixture, stirring well to ensure it is evenly incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the Rice Krispies cereal, folding the mixture until the cereal is completely coated in the marshmallow mixture.
Gently fold in the candied ham pieces, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, pressing it down evenly with a greased spatula or parchment paper.
Let the Rice Krispies bars cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes, before slicing into 12 equal bars.
Serve and enjoy the unique combination of sweet, smoky, and coffee flavors in these delicious treats!
