Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 30 rice krispies

Ingredients

  • 12 Tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced (1 1/2 sticks)
  • 2.5 (10-oz) bags mini marshmallows, DIVIDED
  • 1 (12-oz) box rice krispie cereal (about 10 cups)
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Add butter to a large non-stick pot and cook over medium heat for 2-3 mins. Stir occasionally, until butter turns golden brown and smells nutty.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and add 2 bags (12 cups) of marshmallows. Stir to start to melt the marshmallows so they get fluffy. The marshmallows shouldn't be fully melted.
  • Once the marshmallows are fluffy (but not fully melted), add the cereal, butterscotch chips, and salt to the pot. Stir until cereal is evenly coated.
  • Fold in the last half bag (3 cups) of marshmallows. Don't let them melt all the way. The marshmallows should still be intact!
  • Transfer to a 9x13 inch pan (or divide between 9x13 inch pan and 8x8 inch pan if you want them thinner). Place a piece of parchment paper on top & press hard to make sure the rice krispie treats are even and compact.
  • Let cool & cut into bars with a super sharp knife.
