Ingredients
Instructions
-
Line a 9 x 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. This makes lifting and cutting much easier later.
-
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until smooth and fully melted. Keep the heat low so everything stays soft and stretchy.
-
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the green food coloring a little at a time until you reach a bright green color. Mix in the vanilla if using.
-
Add the Rice Krispies cereal and gently fold everything together until evenly coated. Work quickly while the mixture is still warm.
-
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and gently press it into an even layer using lightly greased hands or a spatula. Do not pack it down too firmly.
-
Let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes, then press shamrock cutters into the mixture if using. Add sprinkles or gently press chocolate coins on top.
-
Let the treats cool and set at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before lifting out and cutting into squares or shapes.
