Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 10 oz. mini marshmallows about 6 cups
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
Instructions
- Line a 9”x13” baking dish with wax paper. This will make removing the crispy rice treats easy. Set aside.
- Pour the crispy rice cereal into the large bowl, and set aside.
- Melt the butter over low heat with the salt in a large pot.
- Once the butter has melted, stir in the marshmallows. Continually stir until completely melted.
- Add the splash of vanilla, and stir.
- Pour the cereal into the melted marshmallow mixture, and stir quickly until the cereal is coated.
- Pour the cereal bar mixture to the prepared baking pan and gently spread the mixture into an even layer with a rubber spatula. (If it begins sticking, spritz the spatula with the nonstick cooking spray.) Do not press down hard on the mixture, as your treats will be more compact.
- Let the treats cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Cut into squares with a sharp knife, and enjoy within 2-3 days.

Notes
- I cut my treats into 1.5” squares. If you cut yours larger, you will have less.
- How to store: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. After this point, the treats will begin to harden.
