Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 ounces vegan marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch pan with a little vegan butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of treats.
In a large pot, melt the vegan butter over low heat. Stir frequently to prevent it from burning.
Once the vegan butter is fully melted, add the vegan marshmallows to the pot.
Continue to heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows are completely melted and combined with the butter. This should form a smooth consistency.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well incorporated.
Remove the pot from the heat and quickly add the crispy rice cereal. Gently fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture until all of the cereal is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared 9x13 inch pan. Using a spatula or wax paper, gently press the mixture down evenly across the pan. Be sure not to pack it too tightly as it will affect the final texture.
Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until they are set.
Once cooled, slice the rice krispies treats into squares using a sharp knife.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
