Ingredients

  • 8 Tbsp Salted Butter
  • 16 Oz Mini Marshmallows Divided
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 8 Cups Rice Krispie Cereal

Instructions

  • Lightly spray a 9×13-inch pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • Place the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the butter foams and the milk solids turn golden brown and smell nutty, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Add 14 ounces of the mini marshmallows to the browned butter and stir until melted and smooth.
  • Stir in the vanilla and kosher salt.
  • Add the Rice Krispies cereal and mix until evenly coated.
  • Fold in the remaining 2 ounces of mini marshmallows.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and lightly press into an even layer. Do not pack the mixture tightly.
  • Allow the treats to cool for 1 hour before cutting into 16 squares.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Make sure you spray the utensils with cooking spray; this recipe is sticky.
