Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 tablespoons salted butter
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 5 1/2 cups Rice Krispies
- 1 cup red & green M&Ms
Instructions
- A pot that holds at least 4 quarts will be needed.
- Melt the butter on low heat until just melted.
- Add in the marshmallows and stir continuously until melted; do not overcook.
- Remove from heat and gently stir in the Rice Krispies.
- Stir occasionally for 2 minutes to allow it to cool slightly, then very gently fold in the M&Ms.
- Spoon into a 9×13 baking dish and press slightly to spread the mixture. Refrain from overpressing as it will cause the M&Ms to melt and bust and the Rice Krispies to become dense.
- Let cool completely and cut into squares.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Place a sheet of parchment paper in the baking dish so that the treats can be removed easily and cut into squares.
- Be sure not to overcook the marshmallows.
- Let the Rice Krispie mixture cool for 2 minutes before adding the M&Ms. If the mixture is too hot, the M&Ms will melt.
- Use another sheet of parchment paper to gently press the Rice Krispie mixture into the pan so it does not stick to your hands.
