Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 10 cups Mini Marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 6 cups Crisped Rice Cereal
- 0.75 cups Pecans, chopped and toasted
- 0.75 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 as needed Cooking Spray
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Gradually fold in the crisped rice cereal, ensuring the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Gently fold in the toasted pecans and chocolate chips, being careful not to let the chocolate chips melt completely.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Lightly press it down into an even layer using a spatula or your hands (spray your hands with a bit of cooking spray to prevent sticking).
Let the rice crispy squares cool at room temperature for about an hour, or until fully set.
Once cool, cut into 12 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
