Calories: 109kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Butter Unsalted
- 2 bags Mini marshmallows 10 oz. bags
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8.5-9 cups Rice Krispie cereal Or any other brand of crispy rice cereal
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick pot over medium-low heat.
- Add butter and let it melt.
- Once it has fully melted, add marshmallows. Keep 1 cup marshmallows aside!
- Keep stirring gently until marshmallows are melted.
- Remove from heat and mix in vanilla extract.
- Then, add cereal and remaining marshmallows and mix gently until fully coated. You will have little chunks of partially melted marshmallows. That's perfectly normal!
- Dump this mixture on a baking tray (Dimensions: 9x13), lined with wax paper that's been lightly sprayed with oil.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the tray with a spatula. Gently press it down with the back of a spatula but don't use too much force. Also, be sure to grease the spatula so that it doesn't stick to the ooey gooey cereal mixture.
- Let it cool at room temperature for 45 minutes- 1 hour.
- Then, use a sharp knife to cut square pieces. Enjoy!
Notes
- Read all my tips above.
- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Make sure the square pieces are layered between sheets of wax paper so they don't stick together.
