Instructions
- Butter a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish. In a large stockpot or Dutch oven (at least 5 quarts) over medium heat, add butter and cook until melted, about 3 minutes.
- Continue cooking butter, stirring constantly, until the milk solids turn golden and the butter darkens slightly, about 5 to 7 minutes longer. Do not walk away as you want the butter to brown, not burn and turn black.
- Reduce heat to medium low and add marshmallows to the pot. Stir until the marshmallows have melted into the butter completely and the mixture is smooth, about 5 to 7 minutes (aim for a gentle melting and softening process).
- Turn off heat and stir in vanilla. Add the cereal and use a large spatula to stir gently until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Pour into the prepared pan and press down gently (but don't try to pack them in too tightly). Sprinkle lightly with rainbow sprinkles if desired. Cool at least 30 minutes.
- Remove from pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into pieces (up to 32 if desired). Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Marshmallows: For best results, use standard (large) marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows.
- Yield: This recipe will make 32 tall pieces (or less or more depending on how you cut them).
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
