Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Sugar-free marshmallows
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Puffed rice cereal (with no added sugar)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
Prepare a 9x9 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper. This will make removing the treats easier once they are set.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Add the sugar-free marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing well with the melted marshmallow blend.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the puffed rice cereal. Stir quickly and thoroughly to coat the cereal evenly with the marshmallow mixture.
Turn the mixture out into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased with a little butter) to press the mixture into an even layer across the pan.
Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour.
Once set, lift the block out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper and cut into 12 equal squares.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
