Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups crispy rice or graham-flavored cereal
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup (half stick) butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Pan: Start by lining an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly butter it to ensure your cereal treats come out cleanly and hold their shape.
  2. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, then add the mini marshmallows, stirring constantly until completely smooth and gooey.
  3. Add Vanilla and Mix: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to bring depth to the marshmallow mixture.
  4. Combine with Cereal and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the crispy cereal and chocolate chips, ensuring each piece is coated evenly without crushing the cereal.
  5. Press and Cool: Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan, pressing it down firmly with a spatula or buttered hands to create an even layer. Let it cool completely at room temperature before cutting.

Notes

  • Use fresh marshmallows; old ones won’t melt as smoothly and may affect texture.
  • Melt ingredients over low heat to prevent burning and achieve a creamy consistency.
  • Press gently to avoid crushing the cereal and keep pieces crunchy.
  • Work quickly, as marshmallow mixtures firm up fast.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep the treats soft and chewy for up to five days.
