Ingredients
- 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter (or dairy-free alternative)
- 10 oz (approx. 40 large or 6 cups mini) fresh marshmallows
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 6 cups puffed rice cereal (ensure gluten-free if needed)

Instructions
- Prepare Your Pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
- Melt Butter & Marshmallows: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until mostly melted (about 75-80% liquid with small lumps remaining). Remove from heat.
- Stir in Flavorings: Immediately stir in vanilla extract, salt, and half of the toasted black sesame seeds until smooth.
- Add Rice Cereal & Sesame Seeds: Gently fold in the rice cereal and the remaining toasted black sesame seeds until evenly coated.
- Press into Pan: Transfer mixture to the prepared pan. Using a buttered spatula or hands, gently press evenly into the pan without compacting.
