Instructions

TO MAKE YOUR RICE KRISPIE TREATS

1. Pour your Rice Krispies in your mixing bowl. Set aside.
2. Line your casserole dish with parchment paper. Spray that paper and any exposed walls with baking spray. Set aside.
3. Over high heat, melt your butter in your saucepan. Use your spatula to move it around consistently until it browns. Lower your heat to low and add your marshmallows. Keep stirring until there are only a few lumps left.
4. Add maple syrup and vanilla. Mix until completely smooth and your maple syrup and vanilla are evenly integrated in your marshmallow.
5. Pour your marshmallow mixture over your Rice Krispies and use your rubber spatula to fold it all together until you have an even mixture.
6. Transfer your Rice Krispie mixture into your lined casserole dish. Spread it so it is even. OPTIONAL. Cover your Rice Krispie treat with parchment paper and use the back of a measuring cup to press down and rub over the parchment paper to help flatten it more evenly.
7. Let cool fully.

TO FROST YOUR RICE KRISPIE TREATS

1. In your medium mixing bowl, whisk together your confectioner's sugar, milk, and maple syrup.
2. Transfer your giant Rice Krispies Treat to your cutting board. Spread your frosting over it evenly and cover it evenly with all of your sprinkles. Let sit until your frosting is settled—about 5 minutes.
3. Use your chefs knife to cut your giant Rice Krispie Treat into evenly sized smaller Rice Krispie Treat squares.
4. Eat and enjoy.
