Marshmallow Bites

My name is Jacob, I’m 32, and I’d never made marshmallow Rice Krispie squares before. Yes, it’s quite a confession—but I’ve since corrected that. This recipe is simple, fun to make, and incredibly satisfying to eat (and share, if you have any left).

Ingredients

  • 75g unsalted butter (plus extra for greasing)

  • ½ tsp fine salt

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 300g marshmallows

  • 150g Rice Krispies or Rice Pops

Equipment

  • Scissors

  • Baking parchment

  • 20cm square cake tin

  • Wide saucepan

  • Spatula

  • Knife

Method

1. Prepare the tin

  • Cut two lengths of baking parchment to line the bottom and sides of the tin, creating an X shape. Grease the tin and parchment with butter.

2. Make the marshmallow mixture

  • Melt 75g butter, salt, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat.

  • Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.

  • Remove from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies until fully coated.

3. Set and cut the treats

  • Press the mixture into the prepared tin using buttered hands to flatten it evenly.

  • Let it set at room temperature for 2 hours.

  • Remove from the tin, peel off the parchment, and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Storage Tip

  • Store the Rice Krispie treats in an airtight container with a piece of baking parchment between layers to prevent sticking.

Enjoy!
