Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal (or gluten-free version)
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows or chopped regular marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder (preferably ceremonial grade)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Fondant or modeling chocolate in green and black for Baby Yoda ears and eyes (optional)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter.
- Add 10 ounces marshmallows and stir constantly until melted and smooth, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and quickly whisk in 4 ounces softened cream cheese until fully incorporated.
- Sift in 2 teaspoons matcha powder and stir until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a few drops of green food coloring if desired.
- Immediately fold in 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal gently but thoroughly with a rubber spatula.
- Transfer mixture to prepared pan and press evenly but not too tightly using parchment paper or a buttered spatula.
- Let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes to set.
- Lift treats out using parchment overhang, cut into squares or rectangles.
- Use green and black fondant or modeling chocolate to craft Baby Yoda ears and eyes, attaching with water or leftover marshmallow mixture.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese for smooth texture. Melt butter and marshmallows over low heat to avoid burning. Sift matcha powder to prevent clumps. Press treats gently to keep crunch. Work quickly to fold in cereal before mixture thickens. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use vegan marshmallows and cream cheese. Store airtight at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
