Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 (12-ounce) bag jumbo marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (divided)
Topping
- 4 Hershey bars (broken into pieces)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly butter it to ensure easy removal of the treats after setting.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the jumbo marshmallows and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Add Vanilla and Mix Cereals: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Immediately mix in the Rice Krispies, Golden Grahams, and 1 1/2 cups of the mini marshmallows until everything is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Layer the Mixture: Spread half of the cereal and marshmallow mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Evenly distribute half of the Hershey bar pieces and mini marshmallows over the layer.
- Add Second Layer: Top with the remaining cereal mixture, pressing it gently into the pan without compressing it too much. Finish by sprinkling the remaining Hershey bar pieces and mini marshmallows on top.
- Cool and Set: Allow the layered treat to cool completely at room temperature so it sets properly. Once firm, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Press the mixture gently to maintain a light, airy texture.
- For extra gooeyness, warm Hershey bar pieces slightly before layering.
- Store treats in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
- To make cutting easier, lightly grease the knife or dip it in warm water before slicing.
