Ingredients

½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter
½ cup (106) light brown sugar
¼ cup (57 g) heavy cream
½ teaspoon kosher salt
10 ounces (284 g) mini marshmallows
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
7 cups (196 g) Rice Krispies cereal

Instructions

Line 9x13 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, add butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, and salt. Gently stir until butter is melted. Once mixture comes to a simmer, reduce heat slightly and simmer for about 4 minutes, or until caramel thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Add marshmallows and vanilla extract. Stir until marshmallows are almost completely melted. Add Rice Krispies cereal and gently stir until evenly coated.
Using a spatula, press cereal mixture firmly into 9x13 pan. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

Storage: Rice krispies treats will keep for about two days in a tightly sealed container at room temperature. Leftovers can be frozen for up to three months.
Make ahead: If making ahead, store rice krispies treats slab whole and slice the day of serving. Slicing and storing separately will dry out treats faster than leaving whole.
