Ingredients
- 2 cups salted butter
- 25 oz mini marshmallows divided
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 9 oz crispy rice cereal
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper. Leave some overhanging on the sides for easier removal. Set aside.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Cook until it foams and turns brown.
- Decrease the heat to medium-low. Add the vanilla and 20 oz. of marshmallows. Stir until completely melted.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add the cereal. Stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until everything is evenly combined. Add the remaining 5 oz. of marshmallows and mix in (these will soften but not completely melt, you want gooey bits in the rice crispy treats).
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press gently into an even layer.
- Let the bars cool at room temperature for at least one hour. When you're ready to enjoy, lift the rice crispy treats out of the pan, slice and enjoy!
