Ingredients

• 6 cups puffed rice cereal (Rice Bubbles)
• 300 grams marshmallows
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or line it with baking paper. Set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, add the marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and salt (if using).

Step 5

Add the puffed rice cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold the cereal until it is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spatula or your hands (lightly greased with butter) to press the mixture evenly into the dish, being careful not to compact it too much.

Step 7

Allow the Rice Bubble Cake to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or until it is firm and set.

Step 8

Cut into 12 bars or squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
