Rice Krispies Treats
1 stick( 4 ounces) Butter or Margarine
1 package, 10 - 16 ounces mini marshmallows
6 to 8 cups Rice Krispies
Prepare your 13x9 inch pan with butter or a non-stick spray.
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over low heat, stir it around to coat the pot.
When it is melted, add the marshmallows, and melt slowly over a low heat.
You may want to stir constantly, it can scorch very easily.
When melted, stir in the rice krispies and stir with a large spatula. Be sure to get to the bottom.
Then stir.
"Pour" into the pan
You may need to re-apply the spray. Let firm up and cut.
Peanut Butter Krispie treats: add 1 cup peanut butter with the marshmallow and melt.
Chocolate Krispies: use Cocoa Krispies
Chocolate chip: add 1 bag mini or regular semi-sweet chips(chilled) with the krispies. They will probably melt a little with the heat.
