Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1.5 cups M&M candies
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the butter is fully melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pan. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Gently fold the Rice Krispies cereal into the melted marshmallow mixture, stirring until the cereal is evenly coated.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 1-2 minutes so the M&Ms do not melt. Then, fold in 1 cup of the M&M candies, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for topping.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and use a greased spatula or your hands (lightly coated with butter or cooking spray) to gently press it into an even layer. Be careful not to press too hard, as it could make the treats too dense.
Sprinkle the reserved M&M candies evenly over the top, pressing them in gently so they stick.
Let the Rice Krispies treats cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once set, cut them into 12 squares or rectangles and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
