Rice Krispy Treats

These gooey, buttery, Rice Krispies are such a fun and easy treat to make for kids and adults! Everything is better homemade, and that is especially true of Rice Krispy treats!

Ingredients

•6 Tablespoons salted butter*

•1 1/2 bags mini marshmallows(about 16 oz), reserve 1 cup

•1 teaspoon vanilla extract

•6 cups Rice Krispies cereal*

Instructions

1. Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. In a large pot, melt the butter on medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add all the marshmallows except the the reserved 1 cup. Set the heat to low and keep stirring until the marshmallows are melted and smooth.

3. Completely remove pot from the heat and add the vanilla extract.

4. Next, add the Rice Krispies and the reserved 1 cup of mini marshmallows. Stir until all the ingredients are combined.

5. Pour the mixture into parchment paper lined baking dish.

6. Before handling the Rice krispy treats moisten your finger tips with water. Then, gently press the treats into the dish, but only enough for them to spread out and look nice. The harder you press and pack them down, the harder they will be to eat.

7. Allow to set for an hour and enjoy!
