Ingredients

• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 4 cups Mini marshmallows
• 2 tablespoons Light butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 for preparing the pan Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lightly spraying it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large, non-stick saucepan, melt the light butter over low heat. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or a heat-resistant spatula.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan. Keep the heat low and stir continuously until the marshmallows have completely melted and blended with the butter into a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring it is fully combined with the marshmallow mixture.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the Rice Krispies cereal. Gently fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture until all pieces are evenly coated.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a piece of wax paper or lightly greased spatula to press the mixture evenly into the dish without compacting it too much.

Step 7

Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes until set.

Step 8

Once set, cut the Rice Krispy Treats into 12 equal-sized squares. Serve and enjoy as a low-fat treat!
