Copycat Disney Rice Krispie Treats by Arecipeforfun

Ingredients

• 6 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
• 1/4 tsp fine salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1 cup mini marshmallows, for folding in
• 1 tbsp butter, for greasing the pan

Instructions

1. Grease a 9x13-inch pan with the extra butter and line it with parchment if desired, about 5 minutes.
2. Melt the 6 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium-low heat, then stir in the 10 ounces mini marshmallows and salt until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla, then quickly fold in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated, about 1 minute.
4. Fold in the extra 1 cup mini marshmallows while the mixture is still warm so they soften but do not fully melt, about 30 seconds.
5. Press the mixture gently into the prepared pan with buttered hands or a spatula, keeping it compact but not packed hard, about 2 minutes.
6. Cool at room temperature until set, at least 30 minutes, then cut into 12 squares.
