When you’re craving something light and sweet, but don’t feel like making a trip to the store, use this easy four-ingredient recipe to satisfy your hunger. This treat is great for sharing with friends, but its marshmallowy goodness may have you stashing them away in your backpack as an in-between-class snack.
What you need:
Large baking dish
Large pot
Spoon
10 oz. bag of marshmallows
1 ½ stick butter
½ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
7 cups Rice Krispies
What you do:
Grease your baking dish with butter. Melt butter in pot over medium high heat until it begins to bubble and brown. Once brown, remove from heat and add all but one cup of marshmallows, vanilla and salt. Put the pot on low heat, stir until marshmallows melt completely. Remove from heat again and add cereal, stirring until fully combined. Add remaining marshmallows and stir until they are softened and slightly melted. Put the mixture in the baking dish, and press down with a spatula or spoon to create an even layer of mixture in the pan. Allow to cool at room temperature for one hour before enjoying this treat.
