Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 7 tablespoons Sweet Cream Salted Butter
- 7 cups Mini Marshmallows (divided: 6 cups for melting, 1 cup for folding in)
- 7 cups Rice Krispie Cereal
Add-ins
- 2 cups Potato Chips, lightly crushed (plus a few extra for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until fully liquified, providing a rich base for the marshmallows.
- Combine Marshmallows: Add 6 cups of mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously over medium-low heat until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- Remove from Heat: Once the marshmallows are melted, immediately take the pan off the heat to prevent burning.
- Fold in Cereal: Add the Rice Krispie cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture and gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Add Crisps and Extra Marshmallows: Fold in the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows and the 2 cups of crushed potato chips until well combined, integrating the salty crunch.
- Press Mixture into Pan: Spoon the mixture into a 9×13-inch pan lined with parchment paper. Lightly press it down evenly to set.
- Optional Topping: Sprinkle a few more crushed potato chips on top for extra texture and visual appeal.
- Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool completely in the pan so they firm up nicely.
- Cut into Squares: Remove the treats from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 12-15 squares for serving.
Notes
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-3 days to maintain freshness.
- To extend shelf life, refrigerate for a few more days; bring to room temperature about 30 minutes before serving for best texture.
- These treats freeze well and can be kept in the freezer for up to two months; defrost quickly at room temperature before serving.
