Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon apple pie spice (blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice)
  • 1/2 cup diced dried apples
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Cinnamon sugar for sprinkling
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans (to taste)
  • Caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and measure them out. Have your butter softened, marshmallows ready, and dried apples chopped if necessary to streamline the cooking process.
  2. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Add marshmallows and stir constantly until they are fully melted and smooth, creating the perfect sticky base.
  3. Add Flavor and Apples: Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in the apple pie spice and vanilla extract for aromatic warmth. Gently fold in the diced dried apples, spreading the fruit evenly throughout the marshmallow mixture.
  4. Mix in Rice Krispies: Add the Rice Krispies cereal into the mixture, folding carefully to coat every crispy kernel in gooey, spiced marshmallow without crushing the cereal.
  5. Transfer to Pan and Press: Pour the sticky mixture into a buttered or parchment-lined baking pan. Press gently but firmly to ensure the treats are compact and even, helping them hold their shape.
  6. Cool and Cut: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Once firm, cut into squares or desired shapes and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh butter to ensure it melts evenly and enhances the richness of the treats.
  • Always melt marshmallows over low heat to prevent burning or clumping.
  • Fold ingredients gently to keep the cereal crisp and intact—do not overmix.
  • Press gently when transferring to the pan to maintain the airy, crispy texture.
  • Adjust the amount of apple pie spice to your preferred flavor intensity.
