A nostalgic no-bake dessert made with melted marshmallows, Rice Krispies cereal, and butter, perfect for sharing and enjoying.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 oz mini marshmallows or 6 cups of marshmallow fluff
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for extra flavor)
- pinches salt (to enhance flavor)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the marshmallows (or marshmallow fluff) and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt if desired.
- In a large bowl, pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir gently but thoroughly until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Lightly grease your baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Pour the mixture into the dish, pressing down firmly and evenly. Let it cool completely before cutting into squares or bars.
Notes
Don’t overheat the marshmallows to avoid hard texture. Use fresh ingredients for optimal results. Experiment with add-ins like chocolate chips or sprinkles.
