Method
- 1
Grease a 20 cm square tin and line it with baking paper.
- 2
Melt the butter in a large pan over a low heat. Add 250 g of the marshmallows and the salt and stir until completely melted and smooth.
5 min - 3
Take off the heat and stir in the vanilla, then the puffed rice cereal. Fold quickly until every piece is coated.
- 4
Fold in the remaining marshmallows for pockets of extra gooeyness.
- 5
Tip into the tin and press down gently with buttered fingers or a piece of baking paper. Pressing hard makes the squares tough.
- 6
Leave to set for 30 minutes at room temperature, then cut into 16 squares.
