Instructions
1-Gather all ingredients and grease a 9×13 inch pan to avoid sticking, setting the stage for easy cleanup.
2-Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat; for vegan versions, swap in plant-based margarine to keep things inclusive.
3-Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until they are fully melted and smooth, which helps achieve that ideal gooey consistency.
4-Remove the mixture from heat and quickly stir in the puffed rice cereal until every piece is evenly coated, ensuring a uniform texture throughout.
5-Transfer the mixture to the greased pan and press it down evenly with a buttered spatula or wax paper to form compact bars that hold their shape.
6-Let the mixture cool and set at room temperature for about an hour before cutting into squares, allowing flavors to meld and the treats to firm up.
