Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Brown rice crisps cereal
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 10 ounces Sugar-free marshmallows
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, letting some excess paper hang over the sides. This will make it easier to lift the squares out once set.
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Do not let it brown.
Add the sugar-free marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly with a spatula until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Gently fold the brown rice crisps cereal into the marshmallow mixture, making sure all of the cereal is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and pressing it down gently with the spatula to ensure a compact layer.
Allow the rice crispy squares to cool at room temperature for about an hour, or until they are firm and set.
Once set, lift the squares out using the parchment paper overhang and place on a cutting board.
Cut into 12 even squares using a sharp knife. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to five days.
