Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups rice cereal
- 1 cup cookie butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
- In a large saucepan, melt unsalted butter over low heat until it becomes completely liquid and starts to shimmer slightly.
- Add mini marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring continuously until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Remove the marshmallow mixture from heat and immediately stir in the cookie butter and vanilla extract until well combined and glossy.
- Quickly fold in the rice cereal, ensuring every piece is evenly coated with the marshmallow and cookie butter mixture. Work swiftly to prevent the mixture from cooling and becoming difficult to mix.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula or slightly dampened hands to press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pan.
- Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 30-45 minutes until they become firm.
- Use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the treats out of the pan, then cut into 12 equal squares using a sharp knife.
- Serve and enjoy the treats immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
