Ingredients

Method

  1. 1. Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat, letting it brown lightly for a nutty depth if desired.
  2. 2. Add the marshmallows and stir just until melted and smooth; pull the pot off the heat as soon as they are molten, since overcooked marshmallow is what dries treats out. (For a peanut butter version, melt it in here.)
  3. 3. Stir in the vanilla and salt, then fold in the crisp rice cereal until evenly coated.
  4. 4. Scrape into a buttered 9×13 pan and press gently with buttered hands or parchment; packing it down hard makes them dense and dry, so just even it out.
  5. 5. Cool ~30 min, then cut.
