Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 10 ounces mini marshmallows
• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray or butter

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with non-stick cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.

Step 3

Once the butter has melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Optional: Add the vanilla extract to the pot and stir well to combine.

Step 5

Remove the pot from heat and immediately add the crispy rice cereal. Stir quickly and thoroughly until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a greased spatula or buttered hands to press the mixture evenly into the dish without compacting it too much (this will help keep the treats chewy).

Step 7

Let the Rice Krispies Treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm.

Step 8

Cut into 12 equal squares or your desired serving size and enjoy!
