Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 ounces marshmallows, regular or mini
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Christmas sprinkles, for decorating

Instructions

  • Melt the Butter. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. You want it to be completely melted but not browned.
  • Add the Marshmallows. Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth. It usually takes about 3-5 minutes. Make sure you stir constantly to prevent burning!
  • Stir in the Vanilla. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Add the Rice Krispies. Pour the Rice Krispies cereal into the marshmallow mixture and stir until well coated.
  • Press into Pan. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. Pour the Rice Krispie mixture into the prepared pan and gently press it down evenly with a greased spatula or your hands (lightly greased, of course!).
  • Decorate! Immediately sprinkle Christmas sprinkles over the top of the treats. Gently press the sprinkles into the treats so they adhere well.
  • Cool and Cut. Let the treats cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. This usually takes about 30 minutes. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
