Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 10 ounces mini marshmallows
• 6 ounces butterscotch chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a 9x13-inch pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper, then coating with cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat until fully melted and slightly golden, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the butterscotch chips until fully melted and incorporated into the marshmallow mixture. Stir constantly to prevent scorching.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal one cup at a time, ensuring each cup is evenly coated with the butterscotch mixture.

Step 7

Quickly transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it down gently with a spatula or your hands sprayed with cooking spray to create an even layer. Do not press too hard, as this can make the treats too dense.

Step 8

Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes or until fully set.

Step 9

Once set, cut the butterscotch Rice Krispie treats into 16 equal squares or desired portions.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
