Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups puffed rice cereal (Rice Bubbles)
- 300 grams marshmallows
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt (optional)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or line it with baking paper. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and salt (if using).
Add the puffed rice cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold the cereal until it is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spatula or your hands (lightly greased with butter) to press the mixture evenly into the dish, being careful not to compact it too much.
Allow the Rice Bubble Cake to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or until it is firm and set.
Cut into 12 bars or squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
