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).

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!
