Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 10 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• 0.5 teaspoon flaky sea salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment with non-stick spray or butter.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring that it's evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

Step 5

Quickly transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Using a greased spatula or your hands (lightly coated with butter), press the mixture down evenly into the pan.

Step 6

Allow the Rice Krispie layer to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

Step 7

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each session, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.

Step 8

Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled Rice Krispie layer, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula.

Step 9

Optional: Sprinkle the flaky sea salt over the chocolate layer while it's still wet.

Step 10

Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature, or place the pan in the refrigerator for faster setting (approximately 30 minutes).

Step 11

Once the chocolate is firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire block out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares or desired portion sizes with a sharp knife.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
