Equipment
- 9” x 13“ baking sheet
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows divided (8 cups for melting, 2 cups for mixing in)

- 1/2 cup dry sugar cookie mix Do not prepare it. Use dry.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract OPTIONAL
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup sprinkles optional

Instructions
- Prep the pan: Line a 9 × 13 inch pan with parchment paper or lightly butter it. Set aside.
- Melt butter: Place a large pot over low heat. Add butter and melt gently.
- Melt marshmallows: Add 8 cups marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir constantly over low to medium-low heat. Cover with a lid for 30 seconds if melting is slow, then stir again. Continue until the mixture is mostly smooth, glossy and stretchy. Only small soft marshmallow bits remain. Do not let it bubble!
- Add sugar cookie mix: With heat still low, sprinkle in the dry sugar cookie mix gradually. Stir continuously for 30 to 45 seconds until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Turn off heat and season: Remove the pot from heat. Stir in salt, vanilla extract (optional). Mix for about 10 seconds.
- Add cereal: Fold in 5½ to 6 cups cereal gently until just coated. Do not overmix.
- Add gooey marshmallows: Fold in the remaining 2 cups marshmallows off heat.
- Add sprinkles: Fold sprinkles in last with just a few turns.
- Transfer to pan: Scoop mixture into prepared pan. Lightly butter your hands or dampen them (or use parchment paper) and gently press the mixture evenly into the pan. Do not pack it down.
- Set and cut: Let rest at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. Cut while slightly warm for the softest texture.
