Description

These chewy Rice Krispie Treats are made with vegan marshmallows and better-for-you ingredients. They’re nostalgic, delicious, and easy to make for a snack, treat, or endurance training fuel.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces Good Mallow Marshmallows
  • 6 tablespoons Grass-Fed Butter (such as Kerrygold)
  • 6 cups One Degree Organics Sprouted Brown Rice Crisps
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon Redmond Real Salt

Instructions

  1. Melt the Butter | In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied. For added depth of flavor, you can brown the butter slightly, just don’t let it burn.
  2. Add and Melt Marshmallows | Lower the heat to low and add the marshmallows. Stir continuously for 8 – 10 minutes until melted. Note : If the marshmallows are clumping, add 1 – 2 tablespoons of milk and stir patiently, as it takes longer than regular marshmallows but will smooth out. 
  3. Stir in Vanilla and Cereal | Once the mixture is smooth, turn off the heat. Stir in the vanilla and sea salt, then quickly fold in the crispy rice cereal until fully coated. 
  4. Press Into the Pan | Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan (I prefer unbleached parchment paper). Use a greased spatula or your hands (lightly coated in butter) to gently press it into an even layer. Note : don’t press too firmly, just enough to shape it. Over-packing = hard treats! Another way of making this easy is to place another piece of parchment paper on top and press down until everything is evenly distributed in the pan (this is also a bit less messy on your hands).
  5. Cool and Cut | Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

  • Add a splash of milk if your marshmallows are clumping, this helps them melt smoothly.
  • Avoid over-packing the mixture when pressing into the pan for the best chewy texture.
