Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 10 cups Mini marshmallows
• 6 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 as needed Cooking spray or parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly spraying it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally to avoid browning.

Step 3

Once the butter is fully melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the Cocoa Krispies cereal to the pot and gently fold the mixture with a spatula until all the cereal is evenly coated with the melted marshmallow mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or wax paper (sprayed lightly with cooking spray) to gently press the mixture into an even layer. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can make the treats dense.

Step 7

Allow the Cocoa Krispies Treats to cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes.

Step 8

Once cooled, cut into 12 equal squares or desired serving sizes. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
