Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
- ¼ Tsp Kosher Salt
- ⅔ Cup Sweetened Condensed Milk 5 Oz
- 12 Oz Mini Marshmallows
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 8 Cups Rice Krispie Cereal 8 Oz
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×13 inch pan by spraying it with butter cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and add salt. Use a rubber spatula to spread the butter up the sides to prevent the mixture from sticking.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk to the melted butter and stir to combine.
- Add the 12 ounces of mini marshmallows. Stir over medium heat until they are completely melted. Then remove from the heat.
- Add the 1 teaspoon vanilla and stir it all together.
- Add the 8 cups of rice krispie cereal. Use the rubber spatula to stir it all together.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared 9×13 inch pan. Wet your hands, shake off the excess water, and use your hands to gently press the Rice Krispies into the pan. Don't press them down too hard as doing so makes your Rice Krispies hard to bite into! Let the treats cool at room temperature for an hour.
- Using the rubber spatula, remove the treats from the pan. Use a knife to cut them into squares. Enjoy!
Notes
- The butter and sweetened condensed milk will look like they're separated, but they will come together.
- If the mixture seems too wet, add another ¼ cup of cereal until you get the desired consistency.
- Store leftovers in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Make sure you spray the utensils with cooking spray; this recipe is sticky.
