Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 10 cups mini marshmallows
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 0.5 cups white chocolate chips (optional)
• 0.25 cups holiday sprinkles (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once fully melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Remove the pot from the heat and add the crispy rice cereal. Gently fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture until fully coated.

Step 5

If using white chocolate chips, fold them in gently so they distribute throughout the mixture without melting completely.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish. Use a greased spatula or lightly buttered hands to press the mixture evenly into the dish.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle the holiday sprinkles evenly over the top of the pressed mixture while it is still warm, gently pressing them in so they adhere.

Step 8

Allow the mixture to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Step 9

Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the Spice Krispies into 12 squares or your desired serving size.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or share them immediately as part of your holiday cookie exchange!
