Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter until completely liquefied.
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir constantly with a silicone spatula until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
Gradually fold in the crispy rice cereal, mixing until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or lightly greased hands to gently press the mixture into an even layer. Be careful not to press too firmly, as this can make the treats too dense.
Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm.
Once cooled, lift the treats from the baking dish using the parchment paper and transfer to a cutting board.
Slice into 12 even squares or rectangles and serve.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
