Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 10 ounces mini marshmallows
• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 for greasing cooking spray or butter

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coating of butter. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.

Step 3

Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until melted and smooth. This will take about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Remove the pot from heat and quickly add the crispy rice cereal. Using a non-stick or wooden spoon, stir until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish. Use a greased spatula or wax paper to gently press the mixture into an even layer. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can make the treats too dense.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once set, cut into 12 equal squares or desired portions and serve.

Step 9

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