Barritas de arroz inflado con mantequilla tostada

Ingredientes

• 1/2 cup salted butter
• 16 ounces large marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Pinch of salt
• 8 cups crisp rice cereal, like Rice Krispies
• 1/2 cup butterscotch or peanut butter chips, like Reese’s

Preparación

1. 1

   Line a 13 x 9” baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the top of the parchment paper with softened butter or butter-flavored cooking spray.

2. 2

   In a large pot, melt the butter on medium-high heat and let it cook until solid, golden brown bits begin to form and it starts to smell fragrant.

3. 3

   Add the marshmallows and cook on medium, stirring constantly until melted. Add the vanilla and salt and use a wooden spoon to stir to combine.

4. 4

   Remove the pot from the heat and add the Rice Krispies and butterscotch or peanut butter chips. Stir gently until everything is combined.

5. 5

   Working fairly quickly (before anything hardens), spoon the mixture as evenly as you can into the prepared 13 x 9 pan, reaching the corners. Using your hands that are lightly greased or slightly wet, lightly press the mixture into the pan so everything looks evenly thick. Don’t mash anything down too hard or your treats will end up being really firm.
