Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup salted butter
  • 3 ½ cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 cups rice cereal

Toppings

  • 2 tsp cinnamon sugar
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the mini marshmallows. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and combined with the butter.
  2. Add Flavorings: Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Incorporate Rice Cereal: Gently fold the rice cereal into the marshmallow mixture, making sure each piece is evenly coated without crushing the cereal.
  4. Shape the Treats: Transfer the mixture to a greased or lined 9×13 inch baking dish. Press it evenly into the pan to form a compact layer.
  5. Add Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the top evenly with cinnamon sugar for an extra burst of cinnamon flavor and a touch of sweetness.
  6. Drizzle White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted white chocolate decoratively over the top of the rice Krispie treats.
  7. Chill and Serve: Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes, allowing the treats to firm up. Once set, cut into 12 servings and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use mini marshmallows for the best melting results and texture.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the dish to ensure treats hold together well.
  • You can substitute white chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate if preferred.
  • Store leftover treats in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For easier cutting, lightly grease the knife or warm it before slicing.
