Step-by-Step Instructions
- **Prepare your pan:** Grease a standard 20cm square baking pan and line it with baking paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- **Melt the butter:** In a large saucepan over low heat, gently melt the **butter** until completely liquid and bubbling softly.
- **Melt the marshmallows:** Add 250g of Rainbow Confectionery **Seconds Marshmallows** to the saucepan. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon over low heat until the marshmallows are completely melted, smooth, and glossy.
- **Combine the dry ingredients:** Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt, then immediately fold in the **rolled oats**. Mix thoroughly until every single oat is coated in the sticky marshmallow mixture.
- **Press into the pan:** Tip the warm mix into your prepared baking pan. Use the back of a greased spatula or greaseproof paper to press the slice down firmly and evenly into the corners.
- **Chill and slice:** Place the pan in the fridge for 30 minutes to set. Once firm, use the baking paper handles to lift the block out onto a cutting board and slice into 12 squares.
- **Serve and store:** Enjoy immediately! Store any remaining squares in an airtight container in a cool spot for up to 5 days.

Mark, Kiwi & Piggy's Baker's Tips
- **Toasted Coconut Twist:** Swap out half a cup of rolled oats for toasted desiccated coconut for an extra layer of nutty flavour.
- **Chocolate Drizzle:** Melt a few buttons of dark chocolate and drizzle across the top before chilling in the fridge for a cafe-style finish.
- **Fudge Texture:** If you prefer a firmer, fudge-like slice, add an extra half cup of oats to the mixture while folding.
