Servings 9
Cost 5
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter, salted (56 grams)
- 4 cups miniature marshmallows
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 cups crisp rice cereal Rice Krispies
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper or foil. If using foil, rub generously with butter or spray with cooking spray.
- Melt butter in large (3 quart) non-stick saucepan over medium-low heat. When butter is melted (you can let it brown a little, of course), add marshmallows and stir until melted. Stir the melted marshmallow mixture constantly, for about a minute after it is fully melted. Don’t let it burn.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and cereal. Stir until cereal is coated with marshmallow. Using a sheet of parchment paper or greased foil, press mixture evenly and firmly into the prepared pan. Let cool completely at room temperature. When fully set, lift from pan by grasping foil. Set on a cutting board and slice into large squares using a big chef’s knife.
- This will give you 9 very nice sized marshmallow treats. For a double batch, double the ingredients and use a larger pot and a 13x9 inch pan.
