Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 ounces Vegan marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 6 cups Crispy rice cereal (ensure it's vegan-certified)
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to help remove the treats later.
In a large saucepan, melt the vegan butter over low heat.
Add the vegan marshmallows to the saucepan, stirring continuously until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Quickly add the crispy rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture, and gently fold the cereal in until it's completely coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Gently press down the mixture with a spatula to create an even layer. Be careful not to press too hard, or the treats will become dense and hard.
Allow the Rice Krispie Treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the treats out of the dish. Cut into squares of desired size and serve.
