Classic Crispy Rice Squares
This no bake snack is always a hit. Switch up the cereal or add some mixins to take these to another level.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 5 cups crisp rice cereal
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13 pan with a little bit of butter. Grease it up real nice. Set it aside.
- In a large pot, melt butter on medium-low heat.
- Once the butter has completely melted, add the marshmallows. Stir until they've mostly melted.
- Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until all the marshmallows have completely melted, leaving you with this silky but sticky mixture.
- Take the pot off of the heat. Add in the crisp rice cereal. Stir until the cereal and marshmallows are well mixed and embracing each other. You'll need a good spoon or spatula for this step. I almost thought my poor spatula would break because the mixture gets pretty intense near the end.
- Pour (or scoop) this mixture into your greased pan. I recommend also using a spoon for this step so you don't end up with sticky hands.
- Lightly press down. It's ok if the entire 9x13 pan doesn't completely fill up. I also had some blank space at the side. It just depends how big you want your squares to be.
- Let it rest on the counter for an hour. Cut those bad boys into squares and enjoy!
