Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 1 nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly spraying it with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for flavor and mix well.
Remove the pot from heat and quickly fold in the crispy rice cereal. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to mix until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and lightly press it down into an even layer using a spatula or clean, greased hands. Be careful not to press too hard as this can make the treats too dense.
Allow the marshmallow treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until firm enough to slice.
Once cooled, cut the treats into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
