Recipe for Rice Krispy Treats

INGREDIENTS

Unsalted butter – 6 tbsp

Marshmallows – 16 oz pack

Crispy rice cereal – 6 cups

METHOD

1. Melt the butter in a heavy bottom saucepan on medium heat.
2. Add the 16 oz bag of marshmallows. Mini ones are easier to melt. If using regular size, break them into smaller pieces with your hands.
3. Melt the marshmallows with a silicon or wooden spatula. Don’t mix too much if using rainbow marshmallows to avoid brown color.
4. When marshmallows are melted, pour in the six cups of rice cereal.
5. Mix quickly and transfer to a buttered square shape box. Cover with parchment paper and press with your hands to get even thickness.
6. Cut into squares with a buttered knife after five minutes.
7. Keep them in an air tight container and they will stay chewy.

Note: You can also cover the rice krispy treats in melted chocolate or candy melts for special occasions.
