Classic Crispy Rice Treats

The classic crowd-pleaser!

From the Best Bake Sale Cookbook, pg. 57

Yield: 24 treats

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cups mini marshmallows
• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 2 cups chocolate chips, M&Ms or peanut butter chips

1. Lightly butter a 9 x 13-inch pan and line with parchment paper, allowing enough overhang on the long side to lift the treats out of the pan. Lightly butter a metal spatula.
2. Place the butter in a skillet over very low heat, and when it has melted, add 3 cups marshmallows and cook until melted, stirring from time to time. Add the remaining 1 cup marshmallows, crispy rice cereal, and the chips, if desired, and quickly mix with a spatula. Transfer to the prepared pan and pat down with your hands into an even layer. Set aside to cool and cut into 24 bars.
