Marshmallow Rice Krispies Squares are a beloved treat that has been delighting children and adults alike for generations.

Instructions

1

Prepare the pan

Line a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Pro tip: Greasing the pan lightly before lining helps keep the parchment in place.

2

Melt the butter and marshmallows

In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.

Pro tip: Use a silicone spatula to prevent sticking.

3

Combine with cereal

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir quickly until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

Pro tip: Work quickly to ensure even coating before the mixture cools.

4

Transfer to pan

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Lightly press it down with a spatula to spread it evenly.

Pro tip: Don't compact the mixture too much, or the squares will be too dense.

5

Cool and set

Allow the mixture to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Pro tip: For faster setting, you can place the pan in the refrigerator.

6

Cut and serve

Lift the set mixture out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares using a sharp knife.

Pro tip: For cleaner cuts, wipe the knife with a damp cloth between slices.
