Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray or butter
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Optional: Add the vanilla extract to the pot and stir well to combine.
Remove the pot from heat and immediately add the crispy rice cereal. Stir quickly and thoroughly until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a greased spatula or buttered hands to press the mixture evenly into the dish without compacting it too much (this will help keep the treats chewy).
Let the Rice Krispies Treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm.
Cut into 12 equal squares or your desired serving size and enjoy!
