Calories: 162kcal
Ingredients
- 200 grams (7 oz) marshmallows
- 250 grams (8.8 oz) rice krispies
- 3 tablespoon coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Fully line a 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly. Alternatively, you can use a silicone dish, these don't need lining or greasing.
- In a large saucepan, melt the coconut oil over a low heat. Once. melted, add the marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well to combine.
- Add the crispy rice cereal to the saucepan and gently fold it into the melted marshmallow mixture until well-coated. Be careful not to crush the cereal while mixing.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it down evenly using a piece of parchment paper and your hands. Applying slight pressure helps to compact the treats, so they don't fall apart when set.
- Allow the Rice Krispie treats to cool at room temperature for about an hour or until they are firm and set.
- Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the treats into desired sizes and shapes. Square or rectangular shapes are the traditional choice, but feel free to get creative!
Notes
Tips & Tricks
- ✔️ I love to use silicone baking dishes as they don't require any lining with baking parchment or greasing and are completely non stick!
- ✔️ When mixing, if the saucepan you are using is not big enough to hold all of the rice cereal, then simply use a large mixing bowl instead. Just pour in the marshmallow mixture and combine in the bowl.
- ✔️ You will need to work fast when combining the rice and marshmallows, as the mixture sets quite quickly.
- ✔️ Cut a piece of baking parchment to the size of the baking dish and press it down evenly with your hands on top of the mixture. This helps to compact the treats into the dish and creates an even top.
- ✔️ Kellogg's Rice Krispies do contain gluten, however, there are plenty of gluten-free varieties available in the major supermarkets or online.
