Ingredients

  • 4 ½ tablespoons salted butter
  • 16 ounces mini marshmallows (a 16 ounce bag)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup candy corn candy

Instructions

  • Begin the recipe by preparing a 9×13-inch baking dish or sheet pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper for easier cleanup. Set aside.
  • In a large pot, over medium-low heat, add the 4 ½ tablespoons salted butter and stir around until melted. Add the 15 ounces of mini marshmallows and stir continuously until melted.
  • Stir in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and remove the pot from the heat. Immediately stir in the 6 cups crispy rice cereal until combined. During the last few seconds, stir in the 1 cup candy corn candy until distributed
  • Add the mixture to the prepared pan and lightly press until even. Allow them to set for about 1 hour before cutting into your desired shapes to serve. Enjoy!
  • Store any leftovers uneaten rice krispie treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. These treats do not have to be kept in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to line the baking dish/sheet to prevent sticking and allow for easier cleanup.
  • Use pure vanilla extract and not imitation. It really makes a difference. If you do not have pure vanilla extract, then you may omit it completely.
  • When pressing them into the pan, to prevent sticking, dampen your hands a bit with water.
  • Don’t be afraid to add more marshmallows, it will make them even more gooey!
  • Spread the rice krispie treat mixture evenly into the pan with damp hands, but do not press with a lot of pressure. You wand to gently pat them down and then stop. This will keep the treats soft and chewy instead of hard and crispy.
