Add 1-10.5 ounce bag (297 grams) of mini marshmallows to the melted fat.

4

Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt (omit if using salted butter or peanut butter).

5

Add 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract or any desired flavorings.

6

Keep the heat at medium-low to prevent the marshmallows from becoming hard and brittle.

7

Stir frequently until all marshmallows are melted.

8

Combine the melted marshmallow mixture with Rice Krispies cereal using a spatula until evenly distributed.

9

If desired, fold in extra mini marshmallows or other solid mix-ins.

10

Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish.

11

Using a lightly oiled offset spatula or oiled hands, gently press the mixture down into the pan without being firm.

12

Let the treats sit for about 2 hours to firm up before slicing.
