Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups puffed rice cereal (no added salt)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter while stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 3
Once the butter is fully melted, add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir continuously with a spatula until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the puffed rice cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture, folding the cereal until it is evenly coated.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, gently pressing it down using a spatula to ensure an even layer.
Step 7
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, until set.
Step 8
Once the Rice Krispy Treats are firm, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut them into 12 even squares.
Step 9
Serve immediately for the best texture or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
