Number Of Ingredients 4

16 cups (a 13 1/2-ounce box) crisp rice cereal
12 cups mini marshmallows
10 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Assorted colorful cereal and candies for decorating

Steps:

  • Melt butter over low heat in a large saucepan. Add mini marshmallows; stir until melted, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in crisp rice cereal.
  • Cars and bugs are shaped by hand. Work quickly while mixture is soft and sticky: Spoon into greased bowl; cover with plastic wrap so it doesn't harden.
  • Butter hands, and make shapes one at a time. Boats, flowers, and hills are cut out after the mixture has hardened.
  • Spoon the warm mixture into a greased 9-by-13-inch pan; pat smooth. Let set, uncovered, 30 minutes to an hour, and then cut out.
