Main Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 10 oz package marshmallows
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  • Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture and stir until well combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and press down firmly.
  • Allow to cool, then cut into squares and serve.

Notes

For fluffier treats, slightly under-press the mixture. If they become too dense, press harder for neater slices. You can also add mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips after mixing in the cereal.
