Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups crispy rice cereal Perfect for that satisfying crunch!
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows Choose fresh ones for the fluffiest texture.
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Feel free to mix it up with milk or dark chocolate if you prefer!
  • 2 tablespoons butter Unsalted is best for controlling the saltiness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract This adds a beautiful depth of flavor!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat until it starts to foam and shimmer.
  2. Add the mini marshmallows and stir gently until they melt into a gooey, smooth mixture.
  3. Remove the pot from heat and mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Pour in the crispy rice cereal and stir until well coated in the marshmallow mixture.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and press it down evenly.
  6. Melt the chocolate chips in a separate bowl, either in the microwave or on a double boiler.
  7. Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the treats.
  8. Allow to cool and set for about 30 minutes, then cut into squares.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For a fresh twist, add chopped nuts or dried fruit before the chocolate sets.
