Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1.5 cups M&M's candy
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning.
Once the butter is fully melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and combined with the butter.
Remove the pot from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal using a rubber spatula, ensuring it is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes, then fold in 1 cup of M&M's. Be careful not to let the candies melt.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a greased spatula or wax paper to press the mixture evenly into the pan. Avoid pressing too firmly, as this can make the treats too dense.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of M&M's evenly over the top, pressing them lightly into the surface to adhere.
Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature, about 30-45 minutes.
Once cool, cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
