Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.
Remove the pot from heat and add the Rice Krispies cereal. Gently fold the cereal into the melted marshmallow mixture until fully coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a buttered spatula or your hands (greased with a little butter) to press the mixture evenly into the pan.
Optional: Lightly sprinkle an additional 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the top for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until set.
Cut into 12 equal squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
