Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups (150g) Rice Krispies cereal (gluten-free option available)
- 10 ounces (280g) marshmallows (mini or regular)
- 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (100g) graham cracker crumbs, crushed fine
- 1 cup (175g) milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 4 tablespoons (57g) of unsalted butter, about 2-3 minutes, avoiding browning.
- Stir in 10 ounces (280g) of marshmallows and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir continuously until marshmallows are fully melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Remove saucepan from heat. Quickly add 6 cups (150g) Rice Krispies cereal and 1 cup (100g) graham cracker crumbs. Fold together until cereal is evenly coated.
- Transfer mixture to prepared pan. Press firmly but gently with a buttered spatula or wax paper to maintain fluffiness.
- Let treats cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes to set slightly.
- Melt 1 cup (175g) milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Optionally add a pinch of sea salt.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the still-warm treats using a fork or spoon.
- Place pan in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow chocolate to set and treats to firm up.
- Cut into squares with a sharp knife and serve.
Notes
Work quickly when mixing marshmallows and cereal as the mixture sets fast. Use low heat to avoid scorching marshmallows. Butter or wax paper helps press the mixture without sticking. Adding a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate drizzle enhances flavor. Variations include peanut butter, dark chocolate, vegan and gluten-free options, and mix-ins like freeze-dried raspberries or crushed pretzels.
