Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
- 0.5 cup Optional sprinkles or chocolate chips
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by coating it lightly with non-stick cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until they are fully melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Add the crispy rice cereal to the pot and gently fold it into the marshmallow mixture until all the cereal is evenly coated.
If using optional sprinkles or chocolate chips, carefully fold them into the mixture at this stage.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and use a spatula (lightly greased to prevent sticking) to press it down evenly into the dish.
Let the Krisptastic Squares cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm enough to slice.
Once set, cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
