Nonstick cooking spray
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
6 cups crispy rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt

  • Working quickly, add the rice cereal to the pot and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and press into an even, compact layer. (Spray your hands with a little cooking spray to keep them from sticking when pressing the cereal mixture into the pan). Decorate with toppings if using (see Cook's Note).

Time 1h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
½ cup unsalted butter
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
1 (10 ounce) package miniature marshmallows
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies®)
1 pinch Sea Salt, gray

Steps:

  • Grease an 8x8x2-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add sweetened condensed milk. Stir with a rubber spatula until butter and milk are uniformly combined and small bubbles are forming in the center of the mixture, about 2 minutes. (When you first begin stirring they will look separated.) Add the bag of marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth. Add vanilla extract and salt and stir again. Remove from heat.
  • Stir rice cereal and remaining cup of marshmallows into the pot to combine. Transfer to the prepared pan and press down lightly with a sheet of plastic wrap; don't pack them down too hard or they will lose their inherently soft and gooey texture. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Let set up on the counter for at least 1 hour. Cut into 16 squares.

Tips:

  • Use fresh marshmallows. Stale marshmallows will make your treats tough and chewy.
  • Don't overcook the marshmallows. They should be melted and smooth, but not browned.
  • Add the butter to the marshmallows after they have melted. This will help to prevent the treats from becoming greasy.
  • Stir in the Rice Krispie cereal gently. You don't want to crush the cereal.
  • Press the treats firmly into the pan. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Let the treats cool completely before cutting them. This will make them easier to cut and less likely to crumble.
  • Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Rice Krispie treats are a classic treat that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious batch of Rice Krispie treats that are perfect for any occasion.
