Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray, and set it aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir constantly until fully melted and smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
Remove the pot from the heat and gently fold in the crispy rice cereal, ensuring it is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Quickly transfer the mixture into the prepared 9x13-inch pan, pressing it down evenly with a greased spatula or lightly oiled hands.
If desired, sprinkle the top with sea salt for a sweet and salty finish.
Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Once cooled, cut into 12 squares or desired serving sizes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
