Description
Delicious and classic Rice Krispies treats made with mini marshmallows and butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 9 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 20 ounces mini marshmallows, divided
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch pan with foil or parchment and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Measure out cereal and place in a large bowl.
- Measure out 15 ounces (1 ½ packages) mini marshmallows and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium low heat. Continue cooking the butter, stirring occasionally, until the butter browns. This will take 3-7 minutes depending on the size of your pan, but just watch it – it’ll foam then reduce and little brown flecks will form in the bottom of the pan.
- Once the butter is browned, add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Add cereal and stir to coat with the marshmallow mixture. Stir in remaining marshmallows and immediately pour into prepared pan. Press firmly to compact. Tip: spray wax paper with nonstick cooking spray so you can press without it sticking to your hands.
- Let set until firm then slice into bars. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To freeze, let cool completely then cut into bars and wrap each individual bar in wax paper and freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh marshmallows.
- Try adding chocolate chips or sprinkles for a fun twist.
