Description
Irresistibly nostalgic holiday treats with a buttery vanilla flavor, perfect for festive celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal (or other plain puffed rice cereal)
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and any optional mix-ins if using.
- Add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly (about 1–2 minutes), then shape into balls or press into a buttered 9×13-inch pan. If making balls, roll them in sprinkles while slightly warm.
- Let them cool completely (about 30 minutes at room temperature) before serving.
Notes
For best texture, use low heat when melting marshmallows and avoid overpacking the mixture.
