Ingredients

  • 9 cups (237g) Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 15 ounces (433g) marshmallows
  • 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup (200g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon (15ml) vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Line a 9x13-inch pan with foil or parchment and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Measure out cereal and place in a large bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium low heat. Add the peanut butter and stir until combined.
  • Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  • Add cereal and stir to coat with the marshmallow mixture. Immediately pour into prepared pan.
  • Press firmly to compact. Tip: spray wax paper with nonstick cooking spray so you can press without it sticking to your hands.
  • Let set until firm then slice into bars.

Notes

  • You can use any size marshmallows, just make sure you’re only using 15 ounces.
  • These stay extra gooey but will get stale if not stored properly.
  • Only use FRESH marshmallows and not-stale cereal for best results.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To freeze, let cool completely then cut into bars and wrap each individual bar in wax paper and freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
