Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 10 ounces Mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from browning.
Once the butter is fully melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir constantly over low heat until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
If desired, stir in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
Remove the pot from heat and quickly fold in the crispy rice cereal using a large spatula. Mix until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using a greased spatula or clean, buttered hands, gently press the mixture evenly into the dish. Take care not to compact the mixture too tightly, as this can make the treats overly dense.
Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until firm.
Once set, cut the treats into 12 even squares or as desired. Serve and enjoy!
