Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz mini marshmallows
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 6 cups crisp rice cereal
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • fine salt a pinch if using unsalted butter
  • mini chocolate eggs, pastel candies, or sprinkles optional

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Shallow pan
  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. Spray a shallow air-fryer-safe pan. Spread the marshmallows 1 to 1.5 inches deep and air fry at 370°F for 3 to 5 minutes, until the tops are deeply golden. Watch closely near the end.
  2. Melt the butter in a large bowl, stir in the vanilla and salt, then scrape in the toasted marshmallows and stir until glossy.
  3. Fold in the cereal fast, then any candy.
  4. Press into a greased pan with greased hands. Cool before cutting.

Notes

Deep golden marshmallow tops = flavour; black = regret. Start at 3 minutes.
Reserve a cup of marshmallows unmelted and fold them in for gooey pockets.
Press gently — packing hard makes them dense.
