Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter (or dairy-free butter substitute)
- 10 ounces (about 40 large or 6 cups mini) gluten-free marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 6 cups gluten-free crispy rice cereal (e.g., Nature’s Path, Malt-O-Meal)
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Pan: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. For easy removal, line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
- 2. Melt Butter & Marshmallows: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- 3. Add Flavorings: Stir in vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
- 4. Combine Cereal: Add gluten-free crispy rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Using a buttered spatula, gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated.
- 5. Press into Pan: Immediately transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Gently press it evenly into the pan with a buttered spatula or damp hands. Do not over-compress.
- 6. Cool & Cut: Let cool completely at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Cut into squares with a sharp, buttered knife before serving.
