Rice Krispie Treats with Marshmallow Fluff
Stop breaking your teeth on rock-hard cereal treats! These Rice Krispie treats with marshmallow fluff are the ultimate hack for a bakery-soft dessert that stays gooey for days.
Ingredients
- 7 oz marshmallow fluff
- 3 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups rice krispies cereal
Instructions
- Melt salted butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
- Stir in vanilla and marshmallow fluff until smooth and fully combined.
- Remove from heat and immediately fold in Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
- Transfer to a greased 7x11" dish and gently pat into place (do not pack firmly).
- Cool at room temperature for 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Melt the butter and marshmallow fluff over low heat only. High heat can make the sugar seize up and cause hard treats.
- Remove the pan from the heat before stirring in the cereal to keep the mixture soft and stretchy.
- Use a light touch when pressing into the pan. Packing too firmly crushes the cereal and makes dense, tough bars.
- If the mixture sticks while spreading, lightly wet your hands or butter your spatula.
- Let the treats sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes before slicing for the cleanest squares.
- For bakery-style slices, use a sharp knife lightly sprayed with nonstick spray and wipe clean between cuts.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days.
- Fresh cereal gives the best crunch - stale cereal can make the texture chewy in a bad way.
