Ingredients

▢ 100 grams (3.53 oz) butter
▢ 250 grams (3.33 cups) gluten-free marshmallows
▢ 1 tsp (1 tsp) vanilla extract
▢ 6 cups (6 cups) gluten-free rice bubbles / crisped rice cereal

Instructions

Use a rectangle-sized tray (approx. 9 x 13 inch / 23 x 33 cm) and line it with baking paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth. Turn off the heat and stir in vanilla essence.
Add the gluten-free rice bubbles and stir quickly to combine everything evenly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tray. Use a lightly greased spatula or a piece of baking paper to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the tray.
Let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes (or refrigerate for faster setting), then lift it out and slice into squares or bars.

Notes

Storage Instructions

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
For longer freshness, keep them in the fridge for up to a week (they’ll be a bit firmer but still delicious).
You can also freeze them for up to 2 months — just layer between baking paper in an airtight container.

Fun Variations:

🍫 Chocolate Topped: Melt some gluten-free chocolate and pour over the top before setting.
🌈 Sprinkles: Add gluten-free rainbow sprinkles before pressing into the tray for party vibes.
🥜 Nut Butter Swirl: Stir in a tablespoon or two of peanut butter for a nutty flavour twist.
