Ingredients

  • 75 ml or 1/3 cup

    unsalted butter

  • 1.25 L or 5 cups

    miniature or 40 regular (250 g pkg) marshmallows

  • 2 ml or 1/2 tsp

    vanilla extract (optional) 

  • 1.5 L or 6 cups

    Rice KrispiesⓇ cereal 

Directions

1. Lightly grease a 9x9” pan. Line with parchment paper for easy removal. Set aside.  

2. Add the butter to a large saucepan over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and cook for 5-8 minutes stirring constantly to prevent burning, until the butter foams and then begins to turn a golden brown. When it's ready it will have a nutty aroma and the milk solids in the butter will begin to brown on the bottom of the pan.  

3. Once the butter has browned, turn to low heat and immediately add the marshmallows to the saucepan. Continue to cook, stirring continuously until the marshmallows have fully melted. 

4. Stir in the vanilla extract and add the Rice Krispies® cereal. Stir until the cereal is well coated and empty the saucepan into the prepared pan. Press into the pan using a lightly buttered spatula. Allow them to cool for 10-12 minutes before cutting into squares.
