Homemade Rice Krispie Treats

Gooey, buttery and wonderfully crispy, these homemade cereal treats are simple, nostalgic and always disappear quickly.

Ingredients:

• 5 tablespoons butter

• 8 cups mini marshmallows

• 2 additional cups mini marshmallows

• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Spray a 9 × 9-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line with foil or parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make the treats easier to lift out. Lightly spray again.

2. In a very large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, salt and 8 cups of mini marshmallows.

3. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the butter and marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.

4. Add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until evenly coated.

5. While the mixture is still warm, fold in the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows (this is key for extra gooey treats)

6. Transfer to the prepared pan and lightly press the mixture into an even layer. A spoon or spatula with a little butter on it will help keep everything from sticking.

7. Allow to cool and set before lifting from the pan and cutting into squares.

8. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
