Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice bubbles (crispy rice cereal)
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Sprinkles (optional for decoration)
Instructions
Prepare a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with nonstick spray.
In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter completely.
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until they are fully melted and combined with the butter.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the rice bubbles to the melted marshmallow mixture, gently folding until the cereal is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon (lightly greased to prevent sticking) to press the mixture down evenly.
If desired, sprinkle the top with decorative sprinkles and press them gently so they stick.
Allow the mixture to cool and set for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
Once set, cut the mixture into 12 even squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
