Rice Crispy Treats
There is only one right way to make these. I humbly share it with you now.
Course: Dessert
Keyword: birthday, party, potluck
Servings: 1 person (jk, mostly)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 pkg (10 oz.) marshallows, regular size
- 6 cups rice crispy cereal
in a deep microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for 15-30 seconds on high.
Add the marshmallows and stir with a long plastic spoon to coat them in butter.
Microwave the marshmallow mixture for 45 seconds. Stir with that long plastic spoon. (Meanwhile, measure the cereal into a large bowl and grease a 9x13 rectangular pan.)
Microwave for 30 more seconds. Stir again. If it's not melted yet, microwave for another 15 seconds and stir again. DON'T microwave for too long!
Dump the marshmallow mixture into the cereal. Stir quickly with that long spoon. Time is of the essence.
Now dump the entire mixture into the 9x13 pan that you greased. Here's the trick: Fill a cup with cold water. Dip a large metal spoon into the cold water twice. Now use the back of that spoon to press the rice crispy treats into the pan. When the spoon gets sticky again, dip it in water again.
Let the rice crispy treats cool and then eat them all at once all by yourself.
