Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 cups Rice Krispie cereal You can substitute with any crisped rice cereal.
  • 3 cups miniature marshmallows Alternatively, use regular marshmallows cut into smaller pieces.
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Salted butter can be used for extra flavor.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Choose semi-sweet, dark, or white chocolate chips.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Almond extract can be used as a substitute.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, allowing it to become liquid gold.
  2. Add the miniature marshmallows and stir continuously until they completely melt into a smooth mixture.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to infuse a delightful aroma.
  4. Add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until every crunchy piece is well coated.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, letting them intermingle with the marshmallow coating.
  6. Press the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch pan, ensuring an even distribution.
  7. Allow the treats to cool and set before cutting into squares.

Notes

Use a butter-coated spatula to press down the mixture to prevent sticking. Allow treats ample cooling time to maintain shape. Experiment with mix-ins like nuts or dried fruits for added texture.
