Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 4 cups Mini marshmallows
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 1 cups White chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.5 cups White chocolate (for drizzle, optional)
Instructions
Prepare a 9x9-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the maple syrup and stir until combined.
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir constantly with a silicone spatula until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from the heat and quickly stir in the sea salt and white chocolate chips, mixing until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Stir until all of the cereal is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a greased spatula or your hands (lightly buttered) to press the mixture evenly into the pan without compacting it too much.
If using the optional drizzle, melt the additional white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the Rice Krispie squares using a spoon or piping bag.
Allow the squares to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes. For faster setting, place the baking dish in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Once set, cut the mixture into 16 squares and serve. Store leftover squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
