Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 as-needed non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Step 3
Once the butter is fully melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir constantly with a rubber spatula until completely melted and smooth.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing well to evenly distribute the flavor.
Step 5
Remove the pot from the heat and quickly fold in the crispy rice cereal until the cereal is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using a greased spatula or lightly oiled hands, gently press the mixture into an even layer. Do not press too firmly, as this can make the treats too dense.
Step 7
Let the marshmallow treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm enough to cut.
Step 8
Once cooled, cut into 12 equal squares or bars. Serve and enjoy!
Step 9
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
