Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir continuously to avoid browning.
Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan. Keep the heat on low and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and you have a smooth mixture.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Gently fold the cereal into the melted marshmallow until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a greased spatula or a piece of wax paper to gently press the mixture evenly into the dish.
Allow the Rice Krispie treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Once cool, cut into squares or desired shapes and serve.
