• Prepare a 9 X 13 pan by lining the bottom of the pan with wax paper and then spraying it with non-stick spray (We love the new Baking Spray!)

Stove Top:

• In a large saucepan place the room temperature butter and melt it over medium heat. Stir in the mini marshmallows (or large marshmallows if that’s what you have) letting the melted marshmallows soften. See tip below about not using high heat!
• Gradually stir in the rice krispies cereal, using a greased spatula or spoon.
• When the ingredients are well mixed, again using a greased spatula, press the cereal mixture into the 9 X 13 pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing it across the top.  We really like Wilton’s baking pans, because they come with a plastic lid, making it an airtight container! 

Microwave Instructions:

• Prepare the baking pan as noted above.
• In a large microwave safe bowl (I love these pyrex bowls) melt the unsalted butter on medium heat.
• Remove the bowl and add the marshmallows, stirring them in until you have a melted marshmallow mixture. 
• Quickly stir in the rice krispies cereal until well blended.
• Then using a greased spatula, spread the cereal mixture into the bottom of the pan that’s been prepared with wax paper and non-stick spray. 
• Be careful not to pack the cereal mixture too tightly, as this will make the krispy treats harden.
• We like to drizzle melted chocolate on top.
• Cut into squares and store in an airtight container.
