One of my favorite tastes is a toasted *burnt* marshmallow. There is a shake in Philadelphia at a restaurant called Good Stuff Eatery (it's a chain, look it up it's amazing) called toasted marshmallow shake and it. is. heaven. in. a. straw. These rice krispie treats capture the taste of that shake so well.
This is also a great way to enjoy s'mores without the need for summer, a campfire, or a mess.
I N G R E D I E N T S
--2 10 oz. bags of mini jet-puffed marshmallows
--5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
--1 cup graham cracker crumbs
--3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
--4 tbs. butter
--1 tsp. vanilla
--Do not forget to spray a (9x9) pan with a liberal amount of baking spray. These will be sticky!!
--In a large pan over medium heat, go ahead and heat the butter until it's completely melted.
--Pour in a bag and a half of marshmallows, and stir while the mallows melt. (Don't worry, the size of the mallows will go down drastically as it melts into the butter!)
--This is the marshmallow butter mixture once it's melted. As you can see you now have your room back in your pan! For the next few steps, you will want to act fast while the marshmallows are hot! Take the pan off the heat...
--Add in the graham cracker crumbs...
--The chocolate chips...
--And splash of vanilla...
--And stir together until it's a smooth consistency.
--Pour in the rice krispies and stir together, making sure each piece of cereal is well coated.
--Pour the mixture into the greased pan and pat down with a spatula until evenly distributed.
--Sprinkle the remainder of mallows (half a bag) on top of the krispies into an even layer and broil in the oven for about 2 minutes, or until lightly golden.
[Disclaimer: my oven broils at 500 degrees, and I did not leave my oven's side because it browned very quickly!!]
--Take it out and place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, to allow everything to set.
--Cut into bars with a knife sprayed with baking spray. EAT!!
