Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 5 cups Rice Krispie cereal
  • 1 ½ tbsp Thai tea mix
  • 1 pinch salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 10 oz marshmallows (approximately 6 cups mini marshmallows)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking dish: Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with oil and line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the treats later.
  2. Measure cereal: Pour 5 cups of Rice Krispie cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  3. Grind Thai tea: Using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, grind 1 ½ tablespoons of Thai tea mix into a fine powder to ensure even flavor distribution.
  4. Melt butter and marshmallows: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt ¼ cup of unsalted butter. Add 10 ounces of marshmallows and stir continuously until they are almost completely melted and smooth.
  5. Add Thai tea and salt: Stir in the powdered Thai tea mix and a pinch of salt into the melted marshmallow mixture. Mix until the color is uniformly a bright orange and the aroma of Thai tea is evenly infused.
  6. Combine with cereal: Quickly pour the Thai tea marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispie cereal. Stir briskly with a spatula or wooden spoon until all the cereal is evenly coated with the mixture.
  7. Set and cool: Transfer the coated cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press it down evenly with a spatula or clean hands to compact the treats. Allow to cool and set for at least 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh Thai tea mix to maximize flavor.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the amount of marshmallows slightly.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the treats hold together well.
  • Store leftover treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • You can substitute Rice Krispie cereal with other rice-based crispy cereals if desired.
