No-Bake Easy Rice Krispy Bars [0000888]

Ingredients:

6 cups gluten-free Rice Krispies cereal (or a similar gluten-free rice cereal)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 package (10 ounces) gluten-free marshmallows
1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup gluten-free chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 cup gluten-free peanut butter (optional)
Cooking spray for greasing the pan (if needed)
Gluten-free sprinkles for decoration (optional)

Instructions:

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.

Add the gluten-free marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the gluten-free vanilla extract and salt.

Quickly add the gluten-free Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture and gently fold it in until all the cereal is evenly coated.

If you're adding gluten-free chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture while it's still warm.

If you're adding gluten-free peanut butter, you can either drizzle it over the cereal mixture and swirl it in, or mix it in evenly, depending on your preference.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down evenly using a greased spatula or your hands.

If desired, top with gluten-free sprinkles for decoration.

Allow the bars to cool and set at room temperature for about 1-2 hours, or place them in the refrigerator for faster cooling.

Once the bars have set, cut them into squares or rectangles and serve.

Enjoy your easy and gluten-free No-Bake Rice Krispy Bars!
