Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 10 cups Mini marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 6 cups Crispy rice cereal
• 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
• 0.5 cup Optional sprinkles or chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the crispy rice cereal to the pot and gently fold it into the marshmallow mixture until all the cereal is evenly coated.

Step 6

If using optional sprinkles or chocolate chips, carefully fold them into the mixture at this stage.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and use a spatula (lightly greased to prevent sticking) to press it down evenly into the dish.

Step 8

Let the Krisptastic Squares cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm enough to slice.

Step 9

Once set, cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
