Rice Crispy Treats with Regular Marshmallows

• servings: 9 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

6 tablespoons unsalted butter (salted butter works fine if you prefer a little salt in your treats)

40 regular marshmallows

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 pinch salt

6 cups rice cereal

Directions

Measure your rice cereal out in a large mixing bowl. Set it aside.

Spray a large cooking pot with non stick spray. Next, slice your butter and add it to the pot. Cook on low until the butter is melted.

Add your marshmallows and cook them on medium-low until they are completely dissolved in the butter. Be careful not to raise the temperature too much. Cook them low and slow while frequently stirring.

Once the marshmallows are completely melted add the vanilla extract and stir well.

Pour over the rice cereal. Using a spatula mix it well and then transfer it to a greased 9 x 13 inch pan.

Let rest one hour before cutting and serving. Do not refrigerate.
