Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 4 cups mini marshmallows (or 10 oz. bag of regular marshmallows)
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the pan:
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the treats.
- Melt the butter and marshmallows:
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, if using.
- Combine with cereal:
- Quickly add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture and stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Press into the pan:
- Using a spatula or a piece of wax paper, press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Be careful not to press too hard, as this can make the treats too dense.
- Cool and cut:
- Allow the Rice Krispie treats to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles.
- Serve and enjoy:
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Optional Variations:
- Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the treats before cutting them.
- Add-ins: Mix in chocolate chips, M&Ms, or sprinkles to the marshmallow mixture for extra flavor and fun.
- Peanut Butter: Add 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter to the melted marshmallow mixture before adding the cereal.
