Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 6 Tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 (12-ounce) bag jumbo marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2 cups Golden Grahams cereal
  • 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (divided, about 1/2 of a 10-ounce bag)
  • 4 Hershey bars (broken into pieces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it with butter to allow for easier removal of the treats once set.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 6 tablespoons of salted butter until fully melted and bubbly.
  3. Melt Jumbo Marshmallows: Add the 12-ounce bag of jumbo marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir gently and continuously over medium heat until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
  4. Add Vanilla and Cereals: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Then add 4 cups of Rice Krispies, 2 cups of Golden Grahams, and 1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir well until all the cereals are evenly coated with the melted marshmallow mixture.
  5. Layer the Mixture: Pour half of the coated cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with half of the chopped Hershey bars and half of the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows.
  6. Add Remaining Mixture and Top: Add the remaining half of the cereal mixture on top and gently press down to compact slightly, being careful not to compress too hard to keep the treats light and chewy. Finally, top with the remaining Hershey bar pieces and mini marshmallows.
  7. Serve: Allow the treats to cool slightly, then cut into small squares for serving.

Notes

  • Do not over-press the mixture in the pan; compressing too much will result in dense, hard treats.
  • You can substitute the cereal varieties with your favorites or use all Rice Krispies if preferred.
  • For easier removal, using a parchment paper sling is highly recommended.
  • Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
  • To add variety, consider mixing in nuts or other candies.
