Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 oz mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Use dairy-free butter for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup crushed potato chips Choose your favorite flavor—plain, barbecue, or sour cream and onion.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray for easy removal later.
  2. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely smooth.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly mix in the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  4. Gently fold in the crushed potato chips, being careful not to crush them too much.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, using a spatula or wax paper to press it down evenly without squishing.
  6. Allow the treats to cool for at least one hour, then cut them into squares and serve. For added flavor, sprinkle some extra crushed chips on top before they fully set.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. They can also be frozen for up to two months; just wrap tightly and thaw at room temperature before enjoying. Avoid over-melting marshmallows and pressing the mixture too hard to retain texture.
