13×9 inch pan
Large saucepan
Silicone spatula
- 6 tablespoons 85 g European salted butter*, cut into 6 pieces
- 15 oz 425 g miniature marshmallows (about 1 ½ bags)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 cups 175 g Rice Krispies cereal
- 3 tablespoons colored sprinkles optional
Line a 13×9-inch pan with wax paper and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until fully melted.
Add 10 oz (one bag) of marshmallows and stir until melted. Keep the heat low and stir frequently, as high heat can make the Rice Krispie treats too hard.
Stir in the vanilla extract, then add the Rice Krispies cereal and remaining marshmallows. Mix until well combined and the additional marshmallows just begin to melt.
Add the colored sprinkles and briefly stir to combine. Immediately transfer the mixture into the prepared 13×9-inch pan and use a silicone spatula or your hands to gently press the treats evenly into the pan (avoid overhandling, as this can make them too hard).
Let the Rice Krispie Treats cool completely at room temperature, about 30-60 minutes, before cutting and serving.
Butter: You can substitute regular salted butter, but European butter adds great flavor and quality.
Storing: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Do not refrigerate or freeze.
