How do you make a rice crispy treat?

How to Make Rice Krispies Treats:

Ingredients:

* 3 tablespoons butter

* 1 (10 oz) bag of marshmallows

* 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Equipment:

* Large saucepan

* Wooden spoon

* Large bowl

* Waxed paper or parchment paper

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.

2. Add the marshmallows: Once the butter is melted, add the marshmallows and stir until they are completely melted and smooth. You can use a wooden spoon or a spatula for this.

3. Add the cereal: Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

4. Press into pan: Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or use waxed paper or parchment paper to line it. Pour the Rice Krispies treat mixture into the pan and press it down firmly with a buttered spatula or the back of a spoon.

5. Cool and cut: Let the treats cool completely before cutting them into squares.

Tips:

* For extra fun: Add in your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, sprinkles, or dried fruit. Just add them with the cereal and mix them in.

* For a crispier treat: Use a buttered knife to cut the treats. This helps prevent them from sticking.

* For a smoother texture: Use a microwave-safe bowl to melt the butter and marshmallows. This can help prevent burning and create a smoother marshmallow mixture.

* For a more intense flavor: Use a marshmallow cream instead of regular marshmallows.
