Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 16 ounces mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and kosher salt until fully combined.
Add the crispy rice cereal to the pot and gently fold it into the marshmallow mixture until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Lightly spray your hands or a spatula with nonstick cooking spray and gently press the mixture evenly into the pan. Do not press too hard, or the treats will become dense.
Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes to set.
Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
