Instructions

Step 3: Melt the Marshmallows in the Large Saucepan

  • In the large saucepan, once the butter is melted, add 10 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir to coat the marshmallows in butter and allow them to melt, stirring occasionally.

Step 4: Melt the Marshmallows in the Medium Saucepan

  • In the medium saucepan, once the butter is melted, add 2 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir to coat the marshmallows in butter and cook until melted, stirring regularly so the marshmallow does not stick.

Step 5: Make the Rice Krispie Mixture

  • Return to the large saucepan and add 1 cup shredded coconut, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2 cups mini marshmallows, and 8 cups Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until just combined.
