Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups rice cereal
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- ¾ cup dried blueberries
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter completely.
- Add marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
- Gently fold in rice cereal until evenly coated.
- Add dried blueberries and mix just until evenly distributed.
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan using a greased spatula.
- Let set until firm, then slice into bars and serve.
Notes
- Chill time is about 40 minutes to ensure clean slicing, but the bars can set at room temperature if you’re short on time.
- For a berry-forward punch, you can fold in a few extra dried blueberries or swap in dried cranberries.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- If gluten-free is needed, use gluten-free cereal that matches the texture of Rice Krispies.
