Ingredients

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 2 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 pinch pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

1. 1Set two small 6-inch nonstick skillets or mini cast-iron pans over low heat on the stovetop. Add half the butter to each pan and let it melt completely until foamy and fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. 2Scatter half the mini marshmallows into each pan. Stir gently with a heatproof spatula until the marshmallows soften, puff, and turn glossy, 2 to 3 minutes; do not let them brown.
3. 3Remove both pans from the heat. Stir the vanilla extract and salt into each melted marshmallow mixture until evenly combined and smooth.
4. 4Immediately fold half the crispy rice cereal into each pan, pressing and turning until every piece is fully coated in the sticky marshmallow mixture.
5. 5While still warm, use the back of the spatula or clean damp fingers to press the mixture firmly and evenly into each pan so it forms a compact single-serve disk about 1 inch thick.
6. 6Let the treats cool in the pans at room temperature for 10 to 12 minutes until set but still slightly soft in the center.
7. 7Run a thin spatula the edges and lift each treat out onto a plate. Slice or break into pieces if desired, or enjoy whole as a personal skillet dessert.
8. 8Serve immediately for the classic gooey texture, or wrap leftovers tightly once fully cooled for next-day snacking.
