Ingredients:
* 4 tbsp unsalted butter
* 10 oz sugar-free marshmallows (like ChocZero or Max Mallow)

* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* Optional: 1/2 tsp sea salt for a delightful caramel twist

2. Melt the butter: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until bubbly. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
3. Marshmallow magic: Add the sugar-free marshmallows to the melted butter. Reduce heat to low and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Be patient, it might take a little longer than regular marshmallows.
4. Flavor infusion: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract (and optional sea salt, if using).
5. Cereal time! Pour in the keto-friendly cereal and gently fold it in until evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture. Work quickly before it sets!
6. Press and chill: Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish and press down firmly with a spatula to create an even layer. Let it cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then pop it in the fridge for at least 2 hours (ideally overnight) to fully set.
7. Slice and savor! Once chilled, take out your masterpiece and slice it into squares. Now go forth and enjoy your guilt-free, low-carb Rice Crispy treat bliss!
Tips and Tricks:
* Cereal choices: Experiment with different keto-friendly cereals for unique textures and flavors. Try almond clusters, puffed quinoa, or even protein granola for a nutty twist.
* Chocolate drizzle: Want to take it up a notch? Drizzle your treats with melted sugar-free chocolate for a decadent dessert.
* Mix-ins: Feeling adventurous? Add a handful of chopped nuts, seeds, or even dried fruit (like cranberries or unsweetened coconut flakes) for extra flavor and texture.
Remember, everyone’s carb tolerance is different, so adjust the portion sizes accordingly. But with this recipe, you can finally have your Rice Krispie treat and keep your keto goals on track! Now go forth and share the low-carb love!
