Equipment
- baking pan
- saucepan
- wooden spoon
Ingredients
- crispy rice cereal
- unsalted butter
- marshmallow
- vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- chocolate chips
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides for easy removal of the treats.
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if desired. Gradually add the crispy rice cereal, stirring gently to coat the cereal evenly with the marshmallow mixture. If you're adding any optional mix-ins, fold them in at this stage.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Using a greased spatula or your hands (lightly dampened to prevent sticking), press the mixture evenly into the pan, smoothing the top.
- Let the Rice Crispy Treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they are set and firm. Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut into squares or your desired shapes.
- Serve the Irresistible Homemade Rice Crispy Treats immediately, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a few days. Enjoy the satisfying snap, crackle, and pop with each delightful bite!
