how to make Chewy Ube Rice Krispies Treats

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Opt for salted for extra flavor.)
10 cups Large or Jumbo Marshmallows (Mini marshmallows can work as a substitute.)
1 tablespoon Ube Extract (Be cautious not to add too much.)
1 pinch Salt (Enhances overall flavor.)
9 cups Rice Krispies Cereal (Acts as the primary structure.)
1 to 2 cups Mini Marshmallows (Optional but highly recommended.)

Directions:

Start by lightly greasing a large baking dish or pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large pot over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the large or jumbo marshmallows.
Stir the marshmallows continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and add the ube extract and a pinch of salt. Mix well until fully combined.
Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
If using mini marshmallows, fold them into the mixture now.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press down firmly with a buttered spatula or your hands to create an even layer.
Allow the mixture to cool for about 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
