Rice Krispies Treats

By mgottsgame

This is the recipe for the original rice krispies treats squares...It never fails! Plus, it is a great way to use up a box of cereal! For best results, use fresh marshmallows. I have replaced the butter once with Mott's Healthy Baking butter or oil substitute (it was basically an unsweetened apple sauce) and they still turned out great!

Ingredients

• 6 cups Rice Krispies
• 3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
• 1 (10 ounce) package regular marshmallows or 4 cups miniature marshmallows

Preparation

Step 1

1 Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat.

2 Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted.

3 Remove from heat.

4 (It would be perfect to be measuring out all of the cereal at this time, having it ready in a large bowl.).

5 Working quickly, add rice krispies cereal, and stir until the cereal is well coated.

6 Using a buttered spatula or waxed paper, press the mixture evenly into a greased 13 by 9 by 2 inch pan (or whatever pan you have on hand).

7 When the treats are cooled, cut into squares. 8 Serve, and enjoy!
