Ingredients

  • 9 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 15 ounces mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Measure your cereal into a large bowl and set aside. Line a 9x13-inch pan with foil or parchment and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan or pot over medium heat. Add marshmallows and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
  • Add cereal and stir. Pour into prepared pan and press to compact.
  • Let sit until set, about an hour.
  • Store at room temp in an airtight container for several days. You can freeze the bars individually wrapped or between sheets of wax or parchment paper for put to a few months.

Notes
