Equipment

Ingredients

16 oz. marshmallows (mini or regular cut into smaller pieces) I used Dandies corn syrup-free marshmallows
6 cups gluten-free rice cereal I used One Degree Organic Foods
6 tablespoon unsalted butter *Only use salted butter if the rice cereal doesn't contain any
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
sprinkles if using Supernatural brand is free of artificial dyes

Instructions

Prepare the pan: Line an 8x8 or 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper. (Use 8x8 for thicker treats, 9x13 for thinner.)
If using regular marshmallows, cut into halves with kitchen scissors for faster melting.
In a large nonstick pot over low heat, melt the butter.
6 tablespoon unsalted butter
Add all but one cup of the marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth, about 5 to 6 minutes.
16 oz. marshmallows (mini or regular cut into smaller pieces)
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Fold in the rice cereal and the remaining cup of marshmallows. Stir until combined, being careful to not compact the mixture.
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 6 cups gluten-free rice cereal
Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan. Use a silicone spatula or buttered hands to gently press it down into an even layer. Don’t pack too tightly or the treats may be too firm.
Optional: While still warm, top with sprinkles for a festive look.
sprinkles if using
Let sit at room temperature for about one hour, then cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

Note: Nutrition facts are approximate. They use the nutrition of regular marshmallows and rice cereal, NOT these healthier brands.

Make this recipe vegan by using plant-based butter.

Storage Instructions:

Store your gluten-free rice krispies treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To prevent sticking, place a piece of parchment or wax paper between layers.

If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them: wrap each square tightly in plastic wrap, place them in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze for up to 6 weeks. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
