- 6 tablespoons butter
- 20 ounces mini marshmallows (two 10 oz bags)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
Instructions
- Spray an 8×8-inch pan with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
- In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the 6 tablespoons butter.
- Add 20 ounces mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 6 cups crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.

Notes
- Go extra gooey: Use the full 20 oz of marshmallows if you like them super soft.
- No sticking: Spray your spatula or hands with cooking spray before pressing the mixture into the pan.
- Don’t press too hard: Light pressure keeps them soft and chewy.
- Use fresh cereal: Stale cereal = stale treats.
- Make it a party: Add sprinkles, chocolate chips, or drizzle with melted chocolate.
