Ingredients
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 ½ cups chocolate candy (435 g), divided
6 tablespoons salted butter, 3/4 stick
10 cups mini marshmallows (500 g)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
7 cups rice cereal (210 g)
How to Make It
1. Step
Line a 9-inch (22 cm) square pan with 2 sheets of parchment paper and sprinkle the sugar over the bottom of the pan.
2. Step
Chop the chocolate candy into small pieces, then transfer to the freezer while you prepare the crispy treat mixture.
3. Step
In a large nonstick pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Reduce the heat to low, then add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Add the vanilla and stir to incorporate.
4. Step
Stir in the rice cereal. Remove from heat. Let cool slightly.
5. Step
Transfer half of the mixture to the prepared pan and press into an even layer. Add 2 cups (350 g) of the candy in an even layer, then top with the remaining rice cereal mixture and spread in an even layer. Top with the remaining candy.
6. Step
Let set at room temperature for 2 hours, or in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Cut into 9 bars, then serve.
