Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing pan
- 2 (12-ounce) bags marshmallows
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 10 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- Skewers
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Grease a 13″ x 9″ baking pan thoroughly with butter to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Melt butter and marshmallows: In a large pot over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter. Once melted, add the marshmallows and kosher salt. Stir constantly for about 5 to 8 minutes until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- Combine with cereal: Remove the pot from heat. Carefully fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until all pieces are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press mixture into pan: Pour the coated cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Use a cooking spray-coated silicone or metal spatula to press down firmly and evenly. Let the treat cool completely until set.
- Cut and skewer: Once cooled, cut the treats into 12 equal pieces. Insert skewers into each piece for roasting.
- Roast over fire: Hold the skewered treats over an open campfire, rotating toasting all sides gently until the marshmallow coating turns golden brown and slightly crisp, about 2 minutes. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- Use silicone or metal spatula sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking when pressing the mixture into the pan.
- Be careful when melting marshmallows, as the mixture will be hot and sticky.
- For safety, use heat-resistant gloves or a sturdy skewer for roasting over the fire.
- You can customize by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips or peanut butter chips before pressing the mixture into the pan.
- Store leftover treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
