Description
Delightful and crunchy Rice Krispie Treat Cookies perfect for snacking!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (or halal-friendly butter substitute)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once it’s completely melted, add in the brown sugar and stir until fully combined. Allow it to simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often.
- Toss in the mini marshmallows, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir continuously until the marshmallows have completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and fold in the Rice Krispies cereal. Be gentle but thorough to ensure all the cereal is coated in the sticky goodness.
- Use a spoon to scoop out portions of the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers, but be quick — the mixture may start to harden!
- If you’re using chocolate chips, sprinkle them on top of the cookies before they cool completely.
- Allow the cookies to cool for at least 15 minutes. They will firm up as they cool.
- Dig in and enjoy the delightful crunch of your Rice Krispie Treat Cookies!
Notes
- These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
