Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 cups krispie rice cereal
- 1/2 cup salted butter (one stick)
- 1 10 oz bag mini marshmallows
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- sea salt
Instructions
- Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with butter and set aside.
- Add the butter to a large stock pot over medium heat. Stir frequently and watch as the butter starts to foam. Shortly after you will start to see little brown flecks in the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat once you see those flecks.
- Add vanilla, pinch of sea salt and the marshmallows. Place the pot back on the burner you used (heat still off) and stir until marshmallows are melted. If they don’t seem to be melting fully you can turn the heat back on low until they do. Just make sure to stir constantly.
- Once marshmallows are melted, remove the pot from the heat and add the cereal. Stir until fully combined.
- Scrape the mixture in the greased baking dish and press the mixture down firmly with greased fingers. Using the bottom of a measuring cup to press down is helpful to achieve an even, flat top.
- Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with more sea salt once set.
