Marshmallow-Rice Crispy Treats

Ingredients

Butter, ¼ cup

Slowly add marshmallow to the butter and let the mixture melt.
Once the marshmallow have melted, add rice cereal and stir until it is evenly coated.
Pour the marshmallow mixture into the greased pan.
Press the mixture into the pan using a greased spatula so that it does not stick to the spatula and comes out of the pan easily.
In 5 to 10 minutes, it will be ready to be cut in desired shapes.

It is recommended that they are eaten within a day of making them. If you wish to use the microwave for preparing the treats, make sure to melt butter and marshmallow in the microwave as well. Melt them on high for about 2 to 3 minutes, but make sure you do stir occasionally or else the mixture will be scorched. While cutting the treats into bars, use a pizza wheel cutter which is greased with butter or cooking spray.
