Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the mini marshmallows and unsalted butter.
Microwave the marshmallows and butter on high for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and fully combined.
If the marshmallows are not fully melted, microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth.
Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture and gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down gently with a spatula or clean hands. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can make the treats too dense.
Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
Serve and enjoy!
