RICE KRISPIE TREATS
3 Tbs. margarine 4 c. miniature marshmallows, or about 40 large marshmallows 6 c. Rice Krispies
Melt margarine in large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and add the rice krisipies. Put mixture into a buttered 9x13 inch baking pan. Cut into squares when cool.
For a variety, I have added 1-2 Tbs. peanut butter to the marshmallow mixture just before the marshmallows are completely melted.
Also, I have tried stirring in some milk-chocolate mini-chips along with the rice krispies. I think that you could use butterscotch or peanut butter chips as well. Another way is to put a little cocoa powder into the marshmallow mixture just as it is almost completely melted. Or, you could use the above recipe and substitute cocoa krispies instead of rice krispies--making chocolate krispie treats. I am sure you can think of even more variations. Enjoy!! |
