minutesIngredients
1 stick butter (we used salted)
1 tsp Pure Rum Extract
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
2 10-oz bags mini marshmallows
1 12-oz box crisped rice cerealy
Holiday sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Line a half sheet pan with parchment.
- In a large pot – large enough to the the marshmallows and cereal – melt the butter over medium heat. It will melt then foam. After the foam subsides, it will turn clear. It will then turn golden and then brown with some browned – not burned – bits at the bottom. It will smell nutty. Stir often and when the mixture is fragrant and dark, golden brown, remove from the heat. Add in the extracts and stir.
- Stir in the marshmallows and stir and until the mixture is smooth and well combined. You may need to return the pot to low heat if there is not enough residual heat to fully melt the marshmallows.
- Turn off the heat and add in the cereal and holiday sprinkles if using. Stir to combine. We found a rubber spatula worked best. Turn the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan and press evenly. Allow to cool and cut into squares.
