Rice Krispie Treats Recipe

Ingredients

• 8 Tbsp unsalted butter (plus more to grease pan)
• 16 oz mini marshmallows (divided into 6 cups and 2 cups*)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
• 7 cups crispy rice cereal (*)

Steps

1. 1

   Butter and line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper (you can use a 9x13 but the squares won’t be as thick).

2. 2

   In a large pot or dutch oven, melt butter over medium/low heat. Add 6 cups marshmallows and stir just until completely melted (don’t overcook or the mixture will harden).

3. 3

   Remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in vanilla and salt. Working quickly stir in the cereal then fold in the remaining 2 cups marshmallows until well coated and the added marshmallows just start to melt but are still chunky.

4. 4

   Immediately transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, place a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper over the top to prevent sticking and lightly pressing it evenly into the pan.

5. 5

   Set aside to cool completely to room temperature (about 1 hour), then slice into squares and enjoy.
