Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup salted butter
  • 15 oz mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Chocolate Coating

  • 6 oz chocolate

Instructions

  • Line an 8" x 8" baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter over low heat in a large pot, stirring regularly to prevent the butter from burning.
  • Once the butter has melted, add the marshmallows and vanilla extract to the pot. Stir the mixture until the marshmallows are completely melted, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and fold in the cereal. Make sure each piece of cereal is coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Gently spread the mixture to fit the pan and press it down lightly so you have an even layer.
  • Put the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl or dish, and heat it on high for 30 second intervals until melted.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the Rice Krispie treats and then transfer the pan to the fridge for 45 minutes to let the chocolate harden, or let them set for 2 hours at room temperature instead.
  • Cut the treats into pieces and enjoy!
