Ingredients
- 8 cups gluten-free rice crispy cereal see recipe notes
- 8 cups mini marshmallows divided, 16 oz bag
- 5 tablespoon butter or dairy-free butter, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Lightly grease an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch square baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Melt the butter and marshmallows: In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Reserve 1 cup of mini marshmallows, then add the rest to the pot. Stir constantly until fully melted and smooth.
- Add vanilla and salt: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt for added flavor.
- Mix in the cereal: Quickly stir in the gluten-free crispy rice cereal and reserved marshmallows until evenly coated.
- Press into the pan: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Use a greased spatula or lightly greased hands to press it evenly without compacting too firmly.
- Cool and cut: Let the treats cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once set, cut into squares or rectangles.
Notes
- If you prefer a crunchier or less sweet rice krispie treat, I recommend using puffed rice or brown rice cereal. Please not Kelloggs Rice Krispie Cereal is not gluten-free!
- Celiac Note:
- Storage tips: Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze individual pieces wrapped in plastic for up to 1 month.
- Recipe tip: Always use low heat to melt the marshmallows and butter for a smooth texture, and avoid pressing the mixture too firmly to keep treats light and chewy.
- Marshmellow: Not all marshmallows are gluten-free. Look for brands like Doumak (Campfire Marshmallows) or Dandies vegan marshmallows, which have gluten-free labels. Always double-check for cross-contamination risks.
- Rice Cereal: Many crispy rice cereals contain barley malt, which is not gluten-free. Choose a certified gluten-free brand, such as Erewhon, One Degree, or Aldi to ensure safety.
