Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 cups Mini marshmallows
- 2 teaspoons Espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup White chocolate chips (optional, for drizzle)
- 1 teaspoon Milk (optional, for thinning white chocolate)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter completely.
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until melted and smooth.
Stir in the espresso powder and vanilla extract, mixing well to evenly distribute the coffee flavor.
Remove the pot from heat and immediately fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, stirring until the cereal is fully coated in the marshmallow mixture.
Using a greased spatula or your hands (lightly coated in butter), press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking dish.
If adding the optional white chocolate drizzle, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Add a teaspoon of milk if needed to thin the chocolate for drizzling.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the pressed Rice Krispies Treats using a spoon or piping bag.
Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Once set, cut into 12 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
