Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter or dairy free alternative see notes
- 15 oz marshmallows
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 cups gluten free crispy rice cereal see notes
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9x13" pan. A short spritz of cooking spray or a quick brushing of butter will do.
- In a large pot, melt butter and 15 oz marshmallows over medium heat. Stir frequently until everything is melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Stir in vanilla and 1 cup marshmallows, then add gluten free crispy rice cereal until evenly combined.
- Spread mixture into prepared pan, patting down gently with a lightly greased spatula.
- Let sit for 20 minutes to make it easier to cut. Store any leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap, or in an airtight container.
Notes
- For dairy free, use an alternative in stick form.
- While any old vanilla will do, real vanilla tastes better than imitation vanilla and Mexican vanilla is always best. We have linked to our favorite Mexican vanilla below if you would like to check it out.
