Ingredients
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 bag mini marshmallows (about 10 ounces)
- 1/2 cup cookie butter
- 5 1/2 cups rice cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking of the treats.
- Melt the butter: Add the 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter to a large pan and heat on low, allowing it to melt gently without browning.
- Add marshmallows: Slowly add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter on low heat. Stir continuously to prevent the mixture from burning and ensure a smooth, even melt.
- Combine cookie butter: Stir in the 1/2 cup of cookie butter into the melted marshmallow and butter mixture. Continue stirring on low heat until fully blended and smooth.
- Incorporate rice cereal: Remove the pan from heat and gradually add the 5 1/2 cups of rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Mix thoroughly to coat all cereal pieces evenly.
- Press into pan: Pour the mixture into the greased 9 x 13 pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and gently press the mixture down to compact it slightly.
- Cool and set: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about one hour. This helps them set properly for easy cutting.
- Serve: Once set, cut into squares and serve as a delightful snack or dessert.
Notes
- Stir continuously while melting marshmallows to prevent burning.
- Press the mixture gently into the pan to keep treats light and crispy.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting for clean squares.
- You can substitute cookie butter with peanut butter for a different flavor twist.
- Store treats in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
