Ingredients
- 5 cups 160 g crispy rice cereal
- 6 tbsp 114 g salted butter
- ⅔ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips plus more for topping
- 10 oz 454 g mini marshmallows
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the marshmallows in a large, microwave-safe bowl, reserving about one cup of marshmallows for later use.
- Add the butter to the bowl with the marshmallows and heat on high for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the butter has fully melted.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth, allowing it to cool slightly.
- Add the reserved marshmallows and then stir in the crispy rice cereal, mixing thoroughly with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, working quickly to prevent them from melting.
- Transfer the mixture to a buttered 9x9 pan, using a buttered spatula (or a piece of plastic wrap) to press the mixture firmly into the pan.
- Let the treats cool completely before slicing into bars.
