Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 10 cups Mini Marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 6 cups Crisped Rice Cereal
- 0.75 cups Pecans, chopped and toasted
- 0.75 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 as needed Cooking Spray
Directions
Step 1
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 5
Gradually fold in the crisped rice cereal, ensuring the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Step 6
Gently fold in the toasted pecans and chocolate chips, being careful not to let the chocolate chips melt completely.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Lightly press it down into an even layer using a spatula or your hands (spray your hands with a bit of cooking spray to prevent sticking).
Step 8
Let the rice crispy squares cool at room temperature for about an hour, or until fully set.
Step 9
Once cool, cut into 12 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
