Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Reduced-fat margarine
- 5 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Lightly coat a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray to avoid sticking. Set aside.
In a large pot over low heat, melt the reduced-fat margarine.
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and form a smooth mixture.
Stir in the vanilla extract into the melted marshmallow mixture.
Remove the pot from heat and quickly add the Rice Krispies cereal, stirring until the cereal is well coated with the marshmallow mixture.
With a spatula or wax-paper coated with cooking spray, evenly spread the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Press gently to create an even layer.
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm.
Once set, cut the treats into 16 even squares and serve.
