Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Adds richness and moisture; grease the pan with it.
  • 4 cups Marshmallows Provides sweetness and acts as a binder; feel free to use mini or regular.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Balances sweetness; substitute with table salt if necessary.
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal The foundation for crunch and chewiness; puffed brown rice can be used for a nuttier taste.
For the Filling
  • 1 quart Ice Cream Offers creaminess and flavor; choose your favorite like vanilla or chocolate.
For Flavor Variations
  • 1 cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch Creates a churro twist; any sweet cereal can be substituted.
  • 1 quart Dulce de Leche Ice Cream Adds a depth of richness for the churro variation.
  • 2 cups Puffed Brown Rice Cereal For a malty flavor in the mango sticky rice variant.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Cardamom Imparts warming spice; can be swapped with cinnamon.
  • 1 cup Reese’s Puffs Cereal Delivers a delightful chocolate-peanut butter flavor.
  • 1 quart Chocolate Ice Cream Perfectly complements the Reese’s Puffs.
  • 2 cups Cornflakes Light cereal perfect for the Bee Sting variation.
  • 2 tablespoons Hot Honey Provides a sweet and spicy punch for the Bee Sting flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Adds heat; adjust according to preference.

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • large saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by greasing a large 9x13 inch baking dish with unsalted butter to prevent the Rice Krispies mixture from sticking.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups of marshmallows with 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and a pinch of kosher salt. Heat until melted, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal to the pan, gently fold until evenly coated, and mix in any extra cereals.
  4. Transfer the mixture into your greased baking dish. Press firmly into an even layer and allow to cool completely at room temperature, about 1 hour.
  5. Once cool, cut into rectangles. Place ice cream on top of one rectangle and press another on top to form a sandwich.
  6. Place the assembled sandwiches in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up the ice cream.
