Ingredients
- 6 cups rice cereal
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of the squares.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth, creating a gooey marshmallow mixture.
- Combine with Cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour in the rice cereal. Stir gently but thoroughly to coat all cereal pieces evenly with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Using a buttered spatula or clean hands, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan to create a uniform layer.
- Cool and Set: Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, until the squares are firm and set.
- Cut and Serve: Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- For easier pressing, butter your hands or spatula before pressing the mixture into the pan.
- You can add mix-ins such as chocolate chips or sprinkles for variation.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days to keep freshness.
