Ingredients
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 14 ounces mini marshmallows (or 4 cups)

- 6 cups Cocoa Rice Krispies Cereal
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven pot over medium heat, add the butter. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows are almost completely melted.
- Turn the heat off and stir in the vanilla extract. Add the Cocoa Rice Krispies and mix gently using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until combined.
