Ingredients
- 150 grams mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons light butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 180 grams crispy rice cereal
- 1 serving non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or foil, ensuring that a little hangs over the sides for easy removal. Lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large non-stick saucepan, melt the light butter over low heat.
Step 3
Add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan, stirring continuously until completely melted and smooth. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Once melted, remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Quickly add the crispy rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture and fold until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 6
Transfer the marshmallow-cereal mixture into the prepared baking pan.
Step 7
Using a spatula or a piece of wax paper that is lightly sprayed with non-stick spray, gently press the mixture evenly into the pan.
Step 8
Allow the Rice Krispie Treats to set and cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 9
Once set, use the parchment or foil to lift the treats from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board.
Step 10
Cut into 12 equal squares and serve.
Step 11
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
