  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 squares (approximate) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal Provides the crispy base and essential texture

4 cups mini marshmallows Acts as the binding sweetener and offers that gooey consistency

3 tablespoons unsalted butter Adds richness and helps melt the marshmallows evenly

Instructions

1-First, measure out 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal, 4 cups of mini marshmallows, and 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Grease a 9Γ—13 inch pan to prevent sticking, which helps in pressing the mixture later.

2-Second, melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat until it’s fully melted, keeping the heat low to avoid burning and maintain that perfect texture.

3-Third, add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until they are smooth and completely melted, ensuring an even mix for gooey results.

4-Fourth, remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until every piece is evenly coated, which helps lock in the flavor.

5-Fifth, press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan using a greased spatula or wax paper this tip prevents sticking and makes for neat squares.

6-Finally, let the treats cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares. For dietary tweaks, substitute ingredients as needed, like using plant-based butter for vegan options.
