Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows or 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat promptly to avoid burning.
  2. Mix in Cereal: Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture. Stir carefully to coat all the cereal evenly. Allow the mixture to cool slightly for a few minutes to make handling easier.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture without letting them melt completely to preserve their texture.
  4. Shape and Cool: Lightly grease a 13×9 inch pan with cooking spray. Using a buttered spatula or wet hands, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until fully set.
  5. Cut and Serve: Once set, use a sharp, buttered knife to cut into squares. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • For easier mixing and shaping, lightly butter your spatula or wet your hands to prevent sticking.
  • Use a pinch of salt to balance sweetness if desired.
  • Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • Do not overheat marshmallows to avoid a burnt or uneven texture.
  • Chocolate chips can be substituted with white chocolate or peanut butter chips for variation.
