Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups (150 grams) Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 oz (280 grams) marshmallows
  • 4 tablespoons (57 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon black food coloring gel (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Non-stick cooking spray or butter for greasing
  • Optional: mini chocolate chips or edible silver glitter
  • Optional: almond flour for dusting mold

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease your Death Star silicone mold or cookie cutter with non-stick spray or butter. If using a pan, line it with parchment paper for easy removal. (5 minutes)
  2. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 4 tablespoons (57 grams) of unsalted butter until just melted, not browned. Stir gently. (3-4 minutes)
  3. Immediately add 10 oz (280 grams) of marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir continuously with a spatula until smooth and fully melted, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add about 1 teaspoon black food coloring gel if desired and mix until evenly colored. (1-2 minutes)
  5. Pour 6 cups (150 grams) Rice Krispies cereal into the marshmallow mixture. Stir quickly but gently until all cereal is coated evenly. (2 minutes)
  6. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared mold or cookie cutter using a buttered spatula or wax paper. If using a pan, press into an even 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick layer. (5 minutes)
  7. Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Avoid refrigerating immediately. (30 minutes)
  8. Gently pop the treats out of the mold. Trim edges if needed for a cleaner shape. (2-3 minutes)
  9. Optionally, sprinkle mini chocolate chips or edible silver glitter on top for decoration. (2 minutes)

Notes

Use low heat to melt butter and marshmallows slowly to avoid scorching. Grease spatula and molds to prevent sticking. Work quickly when shaping as mixture firms fast. Let treats set at room temperature for best chewy texture. If mixture hardens before shaping, warm briefly in microwave to soften.
