MARSHMALLOW CRISP (MICROWAVE RICE KRISPIES SQUARES)

Steps:

• If you want to use large marshmallows, the recipe says to use an entire 10-oz package, or 40 large marshmallows. I always use 4 cups of miniature marshmallows, however.
• You will need a buttered (I just use nonstick cooking spray though) oblong pan and a large casserole dish with a lid that can go into your microwave. If you use a 13x9 pan your squares will be very flat, so my personal preference is to use a smaller pan so I get thicker squares.
• Place butter in casserole dish and microwave until melted, about a minute or so on High.
• Add marshmallows, stir, and cover. Microwave on High for 2 minutes, remove and stir, then re-cover and microwave for about another minute or so, until marshmallows melt. Stir until well blended.
• Add cereal and stir until well coated. I use a wooden spoon.
• Transfer mixture into prepared pan. Wet your hands a bit under the tap, shake off excess water, then use your hands to flatten cereal mixture into the pan. Dampen hands again if mixture starts to stick.
• Set aside to cool and set up, then cut into squares. Keep covered tightly if you have leftovers.
• Variation: after you add cereal, you can also stir in one cup of chocolate chips or a chocolate candy like M&Ms.
