Equipment

  • 13×9 inch pan
  • Large saucepan
  • Silicone spatula

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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.
