Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 14 ounces mini marshmallows (divided)
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
Instructions
- Coat the inside of a 9" x 13" baking dish with butter or cooking spray, then set aside.
- Add the Rice Krispies and 2 handfuls (or about 2 cups) of marshmallows to a large mixing bowl and combine.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar, whipping cream, and corn syrup. Bring to a rapid boil. Add the remaining mini marshmallows and remove from heat. Stir the marshmallow mixture until the marshmallows are almost completely melted.
- Add the marshmallow mixture to the Rice Krispies and fold together. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using the back of a spoon, spread the mixture evenly into the dish, then either wet or spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray and gently but firmly pat down the Rice Krispies treats.
- Cool for about 20 minutes, or until they hold their shape, then cut into 3" squares. Enjoy!
Notes
Storing instructions: store at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to 4 days. Because of the high butter and fat content, storing them in the fridge can make them get way too hard.
