Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until completely combined.
  3. Fold in the cereal until every piece is evenly coated.
  4. Press the mixture into a greased 9-inch square baking pan using buttered hands or a spatula. Let the pan sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes until firm.
  5. Turn the block out onto a board, slice into squares, and serve.

Notes

The cooling time is not included in the prep or cook total, so plan for about an hour of hands-off time before slicing. If you want clean squares, chill the knife blade in hot water and wipe it dry between cuts.
