Use your favorite gluten-free crispy rice cereal to make everyone's favorite childhood treat. Buttery gooey marshmallow, crunchy cereal, and lots of vanilla flavor for a quick and easy sweet snack.
Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in all but 1 cup of the marshmallows. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring until completely melted.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt. Add the cereal and the remaining 1 cup of marshmallows and gently stir until combined.
Pour into the prepared baking dish. Press gently with your fingertips just until completely spread out. Allow to set at room temperature, about 1 hour.
Notes
Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal is not gluten-free and they no longer make the gluten-free version. I like the Millville rice cereal from Aldi. It is gluten-free and close in texture. You can use any GF cereal brand you like check the labels for malt and barley, neither are safe for those with celiac disease or anyone on a gluten-free diet.
Do not use puffed rice cereal.
To prevent sticking, wet your hands before pressing the treats into the pan.
