Equipment
- 9×9 pan
- Parchment paper
- Large, deep saucepan
- Non-stick spatula
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows, you can buy a bag of marshmallow in this size to make it easy to measure
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
- 4 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallow sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Prep: Line a 9×9 pan with parchment paper and grease with butter. Prepare 4 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips and set aside.
- Melt: In a large, deep saucepan, melt 1/3 cup butter and 10 ounces mini marshmallows, on low heat until just melted. Be patient and careful to avoid overcooking, which may result in a tough texture. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp pure vanilla extract.
- Combine: Add the 4 cups Rice Krispies Cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture and mix gently but thoroughly to ensure the cereal is well coated.
- Incorporate: While the mixture is still warm add 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and gently mix once again. You will have to work quickly to make sure all is mixed before the mixture cools down.
- Press into pan: Transfer the mixture to the prepared 9×9 pan and gently spread into an even layer. You can add a few mini marshmallow sprinkles on top or a few more chocolate chips for extra fun if you'd like!
- Cool & Serve: Allow the treats to cool to room temperature, giving them a few minutes to set. Once cooled, cut them into squares, dig in and enjoy!
