Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 300 grams mini marshmallows
- 120 grams smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams crispy rice cereal
- 1 pinch salt
- 50 grams chocolate chips (optional, for drizzle)
Directions
Step 1
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
Step 2
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 3
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the peanut butter until fully combined.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, then remove the saucepan from heat.
Step 6
Pour the crispy rice cereal into the saucepan and quickly but gently fold the mixture until all cereal pieces are evenly coated.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a greased spatula or clean hands lightly coated in oil to gently press the mixture into an even layer. Be careful not to compress it too firmly to keep the 'cloud' texture light.
Step 8
Let the mixture cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until set.
Step 9
Optional step: Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the crispy clouds for an extra touch of sweetness.
Step 10
Once cool and firm, cut into 12 squares or desired serving sizes. Serve and enjoy!
