Simple yet...simple


What's for treat this week in "The Link" movement class? Take a wild guess. If you guessed the ever classic Rice Crispy Treat, you're right! This is such a simple but fun treat for kids. It's fairly simple to make but has the tendency to be messy and stick and shown by my mess...

All you need for this is 4 cups of mini-marshmallows, 3 T margarine or butter, and 6 cups of rice crispy cereal. The first thing you do is melt the butter in a sauce pan over LOW heat...

When the butter has melted, put the marshmallows in and stir until they are melted...
When they have melted, remove from heat and stir in the cereal. ONce combined, put in a greased 13x9 pan. Press down with wax paper that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Cut into desired number of pieces when cool. Feel like a kid again and enjoy!

There's nothing like homemade rice krispie treats - the packaged ones just don't compare.

I agree. I did a post on rice krispie treats a little while back. I put chocolate chips in mine and sometimes even coconut and walnuts. YUM!
My mom used to make them with peanut butter and melted chocolate on the top. Needless to say there were never any leftovers.
