Family-Favorite Rice Krispie Treats Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup(170 g;12 Tbsp) unsalted butter
• two10-ounce bags (566 g; 11 heaping cup s) mini marshmallows
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extra ct
• pinch salt
• cup s(270 g) crispy rice cereal

Instructions

1. Butter: Like all good desserts, the base of great rice krispie treats is butter! You need 3/4 cup, which is 170g, or 12 Tablespoons.
2. Marshmallows: These krispie treats are extra marshmallow y without falling apart. You need two 10 ounce bags (about 11 heaping cups) of mini marshmallows. Or you can use homemade marshmallows !
3. Vanilla Extract: This is an easy addition that turns a good rice krispie treat into a great rice krispie treat. You only need 1/2 teaspoon, but what a difference it makes! Homemade vanilla extract is excellent here.
4. Salt: Salt is another little flavor enhancer I add to my rice krispie treats. Like vanilla extract, salt is a super convenient ingredient you already have in your kitchen, and you don’t need much of it. Just a pinch adds a depth of flavor otherwise absent from crispy rice treats.
5. Rice Krispies Cereal: What’s a crispy treat without rice krispies cereal? The best!
