M&M RICE KRISPIE SQUARES RECIPE
Made with crispy rice cereal, marshmallows, and pastel M&Ms. These M&M rice krispie treats are a fun and easy Easter dessert perfect to share with friends or family.
Ingredients
- 7 cups Rice Krispie Cereal
- 8 tablespoon Butter (you can also use coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 16 mini Marshmallows
- ½ cup Pastel Colored M&Ms (more or less to your preference)
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 pan with parchment and then grease it with cooking spray
- In a large pot, on medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in marshmallows and stir just until completely melted and combined (don’t overcook the mixture or it will harden).
- Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in vanilla and salt right away. Working quickly, add the cereal and M&Ms, and fold until all are combined evenly.
- Immediately transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. You can top with some additional M&Ms to show off the color.
- Place a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper over the top to prevent sticking and lightly pressing it evenly into the pan.
- Set aside to cool completely to room temperature for about 1 hour, then slice into squares and enjoy.
