  • 10 oz miniature marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Equipment

  • large saucepan
  • 9x13 inch pan
  • spatula

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
  2. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until well coated.
Assembly
  1. Press the mixture evenly into a buttered 9x13 inch pan using a buttered spatula or wax paper.

For best results, use fresh marshmallows. You can add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness, or a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor. Do not over-compress the mixture into the pan, as this can make the treats hard.
