Equipment

  • 1 9x9 in baking dish or 9x13 in cookie sheet w/ rim
  • parchment paper
  • 1 large pot or dutch oven
  • wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 stick
  • 16 oz mini marshmallows, divided into 6 cups, I cup and 1/2 cup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper. Grease with butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. Keep close.
  • In a large pot or dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Allow bubbles to rise and fall to brown butter. 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add 6 cups mini marshmallows and stir until just completely melted. Stirring constantly. 3 to 4 minutes. Don't overcook or the mixture will harden.
  • Remove or take off the heat and immediately stir in vanilla and salt. Stir. Working quickly, fold in the cereal and 1 cup of mini marshmallows. Stir/fold together until well coated and added marshmallows just start to melt but are still chunky.
  • Transfer quickly to prepared pan and pat down with butter stick wrapper lightly and evenly into the pan. Let cool for a few minutes.
  • Melt 1/2 cup mini marshmallows in a microwave safe cup for 15 to 20 seconds on high. Remove and using a spoon or a fork, quickly drizzle melted marshmallow on top of mixture. Make any pattern you like. Get creative. Set aside to cool completely to room temperature. 1 hour. Slice into squares and enjoy.
  • Cover and store at room temperature for up to 3 days. Good luck with that. Do not refrigerate.
