Description
A thick, chewy giant rice crispy treat made with crispy rice cereal, mini marshmallows, butter, and a little salt. This easy no-bake dessert makes generous squares for sharing.
Ingredients
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
16 ounces mini marshmallows
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
12 cups crispy rice cereal
Instructions
Prepare the Pan: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some parchment overhanging the sides for easy removal.
Melt the Butter: In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over low heat.
Melt the Marshmallows: Add the salt and mini marshmallows. Stir frequently over low heat until the marshmallows are almost completely melted and smooth.
Add the Cereal: Remove the pan from the heat and immediately add the crispy rice cereal. Stir gently until all of the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Press into the Pan: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Lightly butter your hands or use parchment paper to gently press the mixture into an even layer without packing it too firmly.
Cool and Cut: Let the giant rice crispy treat cool and set at room temperature. Lift it from the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into 12 squares.
Notes
For the softest, chewiest texture, melt the marshmallows over low heat and avoid pressing the cereal mixture too firmly into the pan. Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for the best texture. Nutrition values are estimates based on standard ingredient data.
