Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 90g (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 280g (10-ounce) bag mini marshmallows
- 200g (¾ cup) smooth Biscoff spread
Mix-ins
- 180g (6 cups) Rice Krispies cereal
- 125g (around 16) Lotus Biscoff biscuits, crushed
- Additional 1 cup (approx. 50g) mini marshmallows, reserved for folding in
Flavorings
- 1 teaspoon good-quality vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Tin: Line a 9×9 inch (23×23 cm) square baking tin with baking parchment, allowing an overhang on two opposite sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment and any exposed tin areas with butter or neutral cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt the Base: In a large, heavy-based saucepan or Dutch oven, gently melt 90g of unsalted butter over low heat, ensuring it does not brown for best flavor and consistency.
- Add Marshmallows and Biscoff: Once the butter is melted, add the entire 280g bag of mini marshmallows and 200g of smooth Biscoff spread. Stir constantly with a silicone spatula over low heat until the mixture is completely smooth and fully combined, creating a velvety base.
- Incorporate Flavour Boosters: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to enhance and balance the sweetness with subtle depth.
- Combine with Crispies and Biscuits: Add 180g Rice Krispies cereal and 125g crushed Biscoff biscuits to the marshmallow mixture. Stir gently and quickly with a greased spatula until all cereal and crumbs are evenly coated, working fast as the mixture begins to set.
- Add More Marshmallows (The Secret Step!): Fold in the reserved 1 cup of mini marshmallows just once or twice to keep them intact, creating soft, gooey pockets inside the treats for added texture and indulgence.
- Press into the Tin: Transfer the mixture into your prepared tin and gently press it down evenly with a greased spatula or piece of parchment. Avoid pressing too firmly to maintain a light, chewy consistency rather than dense and hard.
- Let It Set: Allow the treats to set at room temperature for at least one hour to firm up enough for clean slicing and serving.
Notes
- Using mini marshmallows helps achieve a smoother, more uniform melt compared to large marshmallows.
- Low heat melting is crucial to prevent butter browning and marshmallow scorching for best consistency.
- The additional folded-in mini marshmallows add delightful softness and gooey pockets inside the final treats.
- Lining the tin with parchment and leaving an overhang makes it easy to lift out the whole block for neat, uniform cuts.
- Do not over-press the mixture into the tin to maintain a light and chewy texture.
- Feel free to substitute salted butter if unsalted is unavailable; just adjust the pinch of salt accordingly.
