Ingredients
- 10 ounces vegan marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch pan with a little vegan butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of treats.
Step 2
In a large pot, melt the vegan butter over low heat. Stir frequently to prevent it from burning.
Step 3
Once the vegan butter is fully melted, add the vegan marshmallows to the pot.
Step 4
Continue to heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows are completely melted and combined with the butter. This should form a smooth consistency.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well incorporated.
Step 6
Remove the pot from the heat and quickly add the crispy rice cereal. Gently fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture until all of the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into the prepared 9x13 inch pan. Using a spatula or wax paper, gently press the mixture down evenly across the pan. Be sure not to pack it too tightly as it will affect the final texture.
Step 8
Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until they are set.
Step 9
Once cooled, slice the rice krispies treats into squares using a sharp knife.
Step 10
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
