Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan.
Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
Add the crispy rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture, stirring until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Using a spatula or your hands (lightly greased with butter to prevent sticking), gently press the mixture into an even layer.
Allow the Rice Krispie treats to cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
