Ingredients

Scale

Cereal Base

  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal (or similar crunchy cereal)

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white chocolate)

Optional Extras

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts), as desired
  • Pinch of cinnamon or dash of espresso powder (for flavor boost)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: Begin by melting the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth, forming a shiny, gooey base.
  2. Stir in Chocolate Chips: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately fold in the chocolate chips. The residual warmth will gently melt them to blend into the mixture without losing their texture.
  3. Mix in the Cereal: Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal until it is evenly coated with the marshmallow-chocolate mixture, ensuring every piece is covered for a perfect gooey and crunchy balance.
  4. Press into Pan and Cool: Transfer the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined pan. Use a buttered spatula or wax paper to press it evenly without crushing the cereal. Let it cool completely to set properly before cutting.
  5. Cut and Serve: Once cooled, slice into squares or bars. Enjoy immediately or store for later snacking.

Notes

  • Don’t overheat marshmallows to avoid burning and clumping for smooth texture.
  • Use fresh marshmallows for uniform melting.
  • Press the mixture gently into the pan to preserve cereal crunch.
  • Add nuts or extras after removing from heat to maintain texture.
  • Store treats in an airtight container to keep them fresh and prevent stickiness.
