Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 4 cups miniature marshmallows or 4 cups about 40 regular marshmallows
  • 4 cups about 40 regular marshmallows
  • 5 cups kellogg's Rice Krispies

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Prep Time: 30 mins

Total Time: 30 mins

1 Place a small lump of margarine into a paper towel and use to grease a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan, then wipe the pan off with a dry paper towel. This will keep the bars from sticking to the pan when they are placed on it.

2 Measure margarine into saucepan; melt over low heat. Add marshmallows and cook, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are melted and mixture is very syrupy. Remove from heat.

3 Add Rice Krispies cereal; stir until well-coated.

4 Spread warm mixture in the greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Using waxed paper or buttered spatula press firmly into an even layer. (I normally use a butter knife to do this; dipping the knife into a glass of water occasionally will keep the Rice Krispies from sticking to it as you shove them into the pan)

5 Cut into squares when cool. (This is normally about 10 minutes after placing the mixture into the pan.)

6 *Flavored marshmallows (usually the ones that are green, orange, etc.) may be used to change the taste of your Treats just enough that it will be noticeable.

7 **For Christmas, consider using the red and green colored Rice Krispies that normally are sold around Christmas time, to give your bars that festive holiday appearance. :-).
