These Ruffles Krispie Treats are a deliciously addictive sweet and salty snack with a delightful crunch and gooey marshmallow goodness.
Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Cooking pot
- Wooden Spoon or Spatula
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups crushed original Ruffles chips
Instructions
- Start by greasing your 9x13 inch baking dish lightly with butter or line it with parchment paper for easier removal later on.
- In a large cooking pot over low heat, add the 3 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Once the butter is melted, add the 4 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the pot from heat and stir in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
- Slowly add the 6 cups of crushed Ruffles chips into the melted marshmallow mixture. Gently fold until well coated, being careful not to crush them too much.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Using a spatula, gently press the mixture into an even layer without pressing too hard.
- Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until set. Cut into squares or rectangles and enjoy.
Notes
- Grease your hands or spatula with butter if the mixture feels too sticky to spread easily.
- For softer treats, use fewer Ruffles chips and more marshmallows.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Freeze wrapped treats for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.
- Customize by adding melted chocolate drizzle, sprinkles, nuts, or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
