Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Adds richness and flavor; use unsalted for better salt control.
  • 1 cup dulce de leche Provides creamy, caramel-like sweetness; butterscotch topping is a great substitute if needed.
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows Essential for that chewy texture; mix mini and regular for added variety.
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal The backbone of the treats; opt for brown rice cereal to make it gluten-free.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the overall flavor; pure vanilla extract yields the best results.

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • spatula
  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • Sharp knife
