Equipment
- Large saucepan
- 9x13 inch baking pan
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 10 oz bag mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Allow the Rice Krispie Squares to cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes, or until set. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
