Grown Up Rice Crispy Treats

I love this grown up version of rice crispy treats.  I can just picture the kids faces as they say, “Mom, what did you do to the Rice Crispy treats?”

Rosemary Marshmallow Squares

Serves 12

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 Tbs finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 (16 oz) bag plain marshmallows
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 (12 oz) box crisped rice cereal

In a large sauté pan heated over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the rosemary and stir until the rosemary is coated.

Stir in the marshmallows, and continue to stir until the marshmallows melt and mix with the butter, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the vanilla and salt, then slowly stir in the cereal until it is evenly coated. Remove the pan from the heat.

Transfer the mixture to a shallow 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Cover the top with parchment paper, pressing down firmly to level off.

Set the pan aside for at least 1 hour to cool before slicing into squares.
