A delightful twist on a classic treat, these Gingerbread Rice Krispie Treats will transport you to a cozy holiday kitchen filled with the warm aroma of ginger and molasses.
Ingredients
Scale:
6 cups Rice cereal
10 oz (about 4 cups) Marshmallows
4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
1 teaspoon Ground ginger
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
¼ cup Molasses
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the molasses, vanilla extract, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Gradually add the rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture, stirring gently to coat the cereal evenly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press the mixture down evenly into the pan.
Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature before cutting them into squares.
