rice krispies treats
ingredients
1/4 cup butter, plus additional (see note)
5 cups rice krispies cereal
4 cups marshmallows
directions
In large, heavy pot on stove, melt the butter and add marshmallows, stirring until melted. Remove from heat and immediately mix in cereal. Press into a pan with buttered hands.
notes
I hate touching butter, but you will want to smother your hands in it when touching the hot mixture. If you want the treats a cool color, stir in several drops of food coloring in as the marshmallows are melting. For Christmas, my mom and I like to shape this stuff into a wreath and then press in little red hots to look like berries.
