Ingredients

• 50 ml or 1/4 cup margarine or butter
• 1.25 L or 5 cups miniature or 40 regular (250 g pkg) marshmallows
• 2 ml or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• 1.5 L or 6 cups Rice Krispies® cereal

Directions

1. Lightly grease a 9x13” pan. Line with parchment paper for easy removal. Set aside.
2. Add the butter or margarine to a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds or until the butter is melted.
3. Add the marshmallows to the bowl and toss to coat in the butter. Microwave on HIGH for 45 second intervals, stirring in between until melted and smooth.
4. Stir in the vanilla extract and add the Rice Krispies® cereal. Stir until well coated and empty the bowl into the prepared pan. Press into the pan using a lightly buttered spatula. Allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting into bars.

Mess and Clean-Up

• You can line your baking pan with parchment paper or waxed paper to cut down on mess.
• Grease your spatula or spoon before combining the melted ingredients with the Rice Kripies® cereal.
• When pressing down the treats, to avoid sticky fingers. Try wetting your hands, using the butter stick wrapper or waxed paper.

Recipe Hacks

• The (optional) vanilla extract enances the taste of the treats.
• Use a smaller pan to make thicker treats.
• Add candies or frosting for easy decorations.
