Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 10 cups Mini marshmallows
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with butter or non-stick spray, or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large pot over low heat, melt the unsalted butter completely. Stir frequently to prevent browning.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows are fully melted and smooth.

Step 4

Remove the pot from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the pot, and gently fold the mixture until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and use a buttered spatula or wax paper to press it into an even layer. Be careful not to press too hard, as this can make the squares overly dense.

Step 7

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.

Step 8

Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top of the Rice Krispies mixture in the baking dish using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Let the chocolate-topped Rice Krispies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate sets. For faster cooling, place the dish in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.

Step 10

Once fully set, cut the mixture into 16 squares using a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!
