Scale
- 1 bag vegan marshmallows (10 oz.)
- 5 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1/4 cup vegan butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- Before you begin, grease a 9x9 square baking pan with vegan butter or something similar. I often use coconut oil spray.
- Start by melting your marshmallows and vegan button in a large heavy-bottomed pan on low to medium-low heat. Melting low and slow will give you the best results. Alternatively, you could probably do this in the microwave, using a microwave-safe bowl, but I haven't tried it myself.
- Once the marshmallow is reasonably melted, stir in the vanilla and remove from the heat.
- Then add the cereal and work and work quickly as possible to incorporate. The marshmallow will be a little tough to mix in evenly, but even if you have a few clumps of marshmallow it's delightful in the finished bars.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared dish and use a spatula to press the mixture down firmly into the dish in an even layer.
- Let the bars cool completely at room temperature. Store in an airtight container, if they last that long!
