Ingredients

• 10 ounces Vegan marshmallows
• 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 6 cups Crispy rice cereal (ensure it's vegan-certified)

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to help remove the treats later.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the vegan butter over low heat.

Step 3

Add the vegan marshmallows to the saucepan, stirring continuously until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 5

Quickly add the crispy rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture, and gently fold the cereal in until it's completely coated.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Gently press down the mixture with a spatula to create an even layer. Be careful not to press too hard, or the treats will become dense and hard.

Step 7

Allow the Rice Krispie Treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour.

Step 8

Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the treats out of the dish. Cut into squares of desired size and serve.
