Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 4 cups mini marshmallows
• 5 cups crispy rice cereal

How to Make Rice Crispy Treats

1. Place a large saucepan over low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt slowly, making sure it does not brown or burn.
2. Once the butter is fully melted, add the mini marshmallows. Stir continuously until the marshmallows melt completely and form a smooth, glossy mixture. Keep the heat low to prevent scorching.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the crispy rice cereal. Stir gently but thoroughly until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
4. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch pan. Using a buttered spatula or wax paper, gently press the mixture into an even layer. Avoid pressing too firmly to keep the treats soft and chewy.
5. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature until fully set.
6. Once cooled, cut into equal-sized squares and serve.
