Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp of vegan butter (Earth Balance) or Coconut Oil
- 5 Cups of Nature's Path Crispy Rice Cereal
- 10 oz of Dandies Vegan Marshmallows (one bag)
- 1 tsp of Organic Vanilla Extract (Simply Organic)
- Optional Topping: Dark Chocolate, Sprinkles, Sea Salt
Instructions:
- Add rice cereal to a large bowl and set aside. Grease baking dish with butter/oil (or line with parchment paper) and set aside.
- Add butter to pan and melt. Add in marshmallows and stir continuously until melted. Add in your vanilla extract. Vegan marshmallows can be harder to melt, but adding 1-2 tbsp of water will help them fully melt together.
- Pour your marshmallow mixture over the rice cereal in your bowl and stir until evenly coated. Press rice crispy mixture into your baking dish. Move quickly so the marshmallow mixture stays warm!
- Set in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- If adding toppings, melt chocolate chips with a little bit of coconut oil. Drizzle over the top of finished treats and sprinkle with some sea salt, nuts, sprinkles, or any other desired toppings. Enjoy!
