Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 10 cups mini marshmallows
• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter until completely liquefied.

Step 3

Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir constantly with a silicone spatula until fully melted and smooth.

Step 4

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually fold in the crispy rice cereal, mixing until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or lightly greased hands to gently press the mixture into an even layer. Be careful not to press too firmly, as this can make the treats too dense.

Step 7

Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm.

Step 8

Once cooled, lift the treats from the baking dish using the parchment paper and transfer to a cutting board.

Step 9

Slice into 12 even squares or rectangles and serve.

Step 10

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
