Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 0.5 teaspoon Optional: Flaky sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the treats.
Step 2
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Step 3
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the butterscotch chips. Continue stirring until the chips are melted and fully incorporated into the marshmallow mixture.
Step 5
Remove the pot from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Pour in the Rice Krispies cereal, and gently fold the mixture with a rubber spatula until the cereal is evenly coated. Work quickly, as the mixture will become sticky as it cools.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down evenly using a buttered spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top of the treats for a sweet-salty flavor combination.
Step 9
Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes, before slicing into 12 squares or rectangles.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
