Ingredients
  

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows (or 4 cups of mini marshmallows)

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1 cup graham cracker crumbs (plus extra for topping)

1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Additional mini marshmallows for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Pan: Begin by greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little butter or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal. Set aside.

    Melt the Butter: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely, stirring regularly to avoid burning.

      Add Marshmallows: Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows into the saucepan. Stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

        Mix in Vanilla and Salt: Remove the saucepan from heat; add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix well until evenly incorporated.

          Combine with Cereal and Crumbs: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Krispies and graham cracker crumbs. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and crumbs. Stir until all the dry ingredients are coated evenly with the gooey mixture.

            Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution. Be careful not to crush the Rice Krispies.

              Transfer to Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. With lightly greased hands or a spatula, press the mixture down firmly into an even layer.

                Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle some extra graham cracker crumbs and mini marshmallows on top for added texture and flavor.

                  Cool and Cut: Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until it is set. Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles, and serve!
