Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 10 oz (about 4 cups packed) mini marshmallows
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp salt
Instructions
- Melt Butter And Marshmallows: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot over low heat, melt 0.25 cup unsalted butter until liquid. Add 10 oz mini marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat immediately.
- Combine Cereal And Flavor: Quickly add 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 0.25 tsp salt to the melted marshmallow mixture. Gently fold everything together until the cereal is fully coated.
- Press Into Pan: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Transfer the coated cereal mixture to the prepared pan. Use a buttered spatula or wax paper to press the mixture down gently but firmly and evenly.
- Prepare White Chocolate Drizzle: Place 1 cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is smooth and fluid.
- Drizzle And Chill: After the treats have cooled for about 10-15 minutes, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top in decorative patterns. Allow the white chocolate to set for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or 15 minutes in the fridge.
Notes
Use good quality butter and premium white chocolate for the best flavor and finish. For festive occasions, a drop of food coloring can be added to the white chocolate drizzle. For minimal cleanup, use the same pot for melting marshmallows and mixing the cereal. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
