Ingredients
For the Treats
- 5 cups Ruffles potato chips (about 8 oz)
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Sea salt, to taste
- Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan using cooking spray or butter and set it aside for later use.
- Melt the Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Combine Chips and Marshmallow Mixture: Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly add the Ruffles potato chips. Stir thoroughly to coat all the chips evenly, breaking them gently if needed for better coating.
- Transfer and Press: Pour the chip and marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan. Using a buttered spatula or lightly greased hands, press the mixture evenly into the pan. Sprinkle sea salt on top to boost the sweet and salty flavor.
- Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour until firm.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, cut the treats into squares or rectangles as desired and enjoy.
Notes
- Use fresh potato chips to ensure crispiness.
- Press the mixture firmly for better shape retention.
- Adjust sea salt according to your taste preference for sweetness and saltiness balance.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
- If marshmallow mixture hardens while stirring, warm it gently again over low heat.
