Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 16 ounces mini marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and kosher salt until fully combined.

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

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Lightly spray your hands or a spatula with nonstick cooking spray and gently press the mixture evenly into the pan. Do not press too hard, or the treats will become dense.

Step 7

Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes to set.

Step 8

Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles and serve.

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
