Best Rice Krispies Treats Ratio

 

So I had a random craving for rice krispie treats.  Typically I don't have that cereal, nor those marshmallows on hand, so I bought them last night with the intentions of being snowed in today.

Success. 

I hate rice krispie treats that are hard and not very marshmallowy, so I made the following changes to the original recipe found on the back of the marshmallows bag. (2 additional Tbsp of butter, extra half bag of marshmallows)

 

Ingredients:

5 Tbsp Butter

1 (9 oz) box of Kellogg's Rice Krispies Cereal (not generic)

1 and a half (10 oz bags...so 15 oz total) Kraft jet-puffed mini marshmallows

 

Directions:

In a large pasta pot, melt butter on med-low heat.  Watch it, don't let it brown. 

Add in marshmallows and stir until 90% melted.  (I say 90% because this leaves a few larger chunks of marshmallowy goodness to later be found embedded in each treat.

Stir in cereal until just mixed and pour it out and into a greased 11 by 7 pan.

I mean, you could use a 13 by 9, but they'll be much thinner.

Cool and cut into treats...if you can wait for it to cool that is.
