Equipment
9 x 9 pan
Large pot
Ingredients
6
cups
rice cereal
6
tablespoons
unsalted butter
15
ounces
mini marshmallows
My bags were about 10 ounces each so it was 1 ½ bags total.
1
teaspoon
pure vanilla extract
3
tablespoons
matcha powder
culinary grade
green food coloring (optional)
I personally didn't use any but if you want a vibrant green treat try adding a few drops
Instructions
Grease a 9 x 9 inch pan.
Reserve about 5 ounces of the mini marshmallows (about ½ of a bag). Stir in with the 6 cups of rice cereal. Set aside.
In a large pot, heat your butter over medium heat. Stir in 10 ounces of the mini marshmallows (one full bag).
Gently stir until everything is well melted.
Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract. Stir well.
Add in a tablespoon of the matcha powder at a time. Stir well.
If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring.
Add the melted mixture to the cereal and additional mini marshmallows that you previously set aside. Mix well.
Add the mixture to the 9 x 9 pan and let sit for about one hour before cutting and serving.
Notes
If you want a vibrant green color add a few drops of green food coloring after adding the matcha powder.
Gently press your rice crispy treats into your pan. If you use a pressure that's too firm, your treats can become hard.
Use fresh ingredients. Stale cereal and marshmallows will really effect the quality of your treats.
Don't mix all of the marshmallows in. Some will go in your dry cereal to make your treats more chewy.
Cook your marshmallows and butter low and slow. Constantly stir them.
