Ingredients
- 8 oz Sugar-free marshmallows
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Puffed rice cereal (with no added sugar)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a 9x9 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper. This will make removing the treats easier once they are set.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Step 3
Add the sugar-free marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing well with the melted marshmallow blend.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the puffed rice cereal. Stir quickly and thoroughly to coat the cereal evenly with the marshmallow mixture.
Step 6
Turn the mixture out into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased with a little butter) to press the mixture into an even layer across the pan.
Step 7
Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour.
Step 8
Once set, lift the block out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper and cut into 12 equal squares.
Step 9
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
