Scale
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 20 ounces mini marshmallows
- 10 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Prep Pan: Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
- Melt Ingredients: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Reduce the heat to low and add the peanut butter and vanilla extract, stirring continuously until smooth and combined. Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Combine with Cereal: Pour the Rice Krispies cereal into the melted marshmallow mixture and gently stir until all the cereal is evenly coated.
- Set and Serve: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula. Allow it to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cutting into 24 squares for serving.
Notes
- For firmer treats, press the mixture firmly into the pan before letting it set.
- Use creamy peanut butter for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- You can customize by adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts if desired.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
