Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Amount |
|---|---|
| Gluten-free Rice Krispies | 6 cups |
| Butter | 1/4 cup (4 tbsp) |
| Mini marshmallows (gluten-free) | 10 oz bag |
| Vanilla extract (optional) | 1 tsp |
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pan:
Start by greasing a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray. You can also line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal later.
2. Melt the Butter and Marshmallows:
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the gluten-free marshmallows to the pan, stirring occasionally until they are completely melted and smooth. If you like, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
3. Add the Rice Krispies:
Remove the saucepan from heat, and quickly stir in the gluten-free Rice Krispies. Mix until all of the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture. Be careful not to crush the cereal while mixing.
4. Press the Mixture into the Pan:
Once the Rice Krispies are well-coated, transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Use a spatula or your hands (greased or with parchment paper) to gently press the mixture into the pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed and compacted.
5. Cool and Cut:
Let the mixture cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until it has fully set. Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles, and enjoy!
