Ingredients
Main 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
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth. Remove the saucepan from heat immediately to prevent burning.
- Mix in Cereal: Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly without allowing them to melt fully.
- Shape and Cool: Using a buttered spatula or wet hands, firmly press the mixture into a 13×9 inch pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Smooth the top evenly and let it cool and set for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Cut and Serve: Once the mixture has set, use a sharp, buttered knife to cut into squares. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- For softer bars, use mini marshmallows instead of large marshmallows.
- Lightly buttering the spatula or your hands prevents sticking when pressing the mixture into the pan.
- To avoid melted chocolate chips, fold them in after the mixture cools slightly.
- Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
