Instructions
Melt: Bring a large pot to a medium-high heat and add the butter to melt. Once melted, mix in the 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Add 13 oz of mini marshmallows and mix until fully melted.
Rice Krispies: Remove the pot from the heat and mix in the 9 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Then mix in the remaining 3 ounces of mini marshmallows.
Bars: Now pour the mixture into a 9x13 baking pan. Use a piece of parchment paper or wax paper to press them down into the pan.
Cool + Serve: Let these bars cool completely, cut, and serve!
Notes
Cool: Since these are extra gooey bars, you may need to let them sit in the pan for a while before serving.
Dairy-Free: feel free to use a dairy-free butter here and sweetened condensed coconut milk!
Storage: cover the pan and keep at room temperature for 4-5 days. We made them extra gooey so that they wouldn't try out too easily. Nobody likes a dry rice krispie bar.
