Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons salted butter 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons
- 11 cups mini marshmallows divided
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 9 cups Kelloggs Rice Krispies Cereal
Instructions
- Lightly butter or spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place butter in a large dutch oven or pot over medium low heat. Stir to melt then add 8 cups of mini marshmallows to pot. Reserve 3 cups mini marshmallows for later.
- Stir marshmallows and butter together until melted and smooth. Stir in pure vanilla extract and add salt. Stir to combine. Remove from heat and swiftly stir in cereal. Once combined, add remaining 3 cups of mini marshmallows to the warm mixture. Stir gently and not too much. They'll melt just slightly. Transfer mixture to buttered/greased pan.

Use a plastic knife to cut into squares while still slightly warm. The plastic knife will prevent sticking.
