Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 10 oz bag mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until well coated. Work swiftly to avoid the mixture setting too early.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased) to press the mixture evenly into the pan.
  4. Allow the Rice Krispie Squares to cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes, or until set. Cut into 16 squares and serve.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a chewier texture, use fresh marshmallows and press the mixture lightly into the pan
• Avoid over-stirring the marshmallows to prevent them from becoming tough
• Serve with a sprinkle of sea salt for an elevated flavor profile
Food Safety:
• Ensure all utensils and hands are clean to avoid contamination
• Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days
