Servings: 16 squares
Calories: 150kcal
Equipment
- Large saucepan
- Silicone spatula
- 8x8-inch baking pan
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows (about 40 large ones)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- Start by melting the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Once it’s completely melted, add the marshmallows and stir continuously until they’re smooth and creamy.
- Once the marshmallows are melted, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for extra flavor. Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal, folding it gently into the marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 8x8-inch baking pan. Using a piece of parchment paper or a spatula, press the mixture firmly into the pan to create an even layer. Let the treats cool for about 15 minutes before cutting them into squares.
Notes
For an extra gooey texture, use a 1:1 ratio of marshmallows to cereal. To keep the treats fresh, store them in an airtight container, and for fun variations, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt or drizzle with chocolate.
