Basic Rice Krispies Squares

cup butter or margarine

4½ cups mini marshmallows

6 cups Kellogg's Rice Krispies Cereal

  • In a heavy skillet, melt the butter and marshmallows over low heat (otherwise the melted marshmallow will stick to the pan). When the marshmallows have completely melted, remove from heat.

  • Stir in the cereal and mix thoroughly. Spread out the mixture evenly in a 9″ × 13″ pan. Serve warm, or cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour first. Cut into squares before serving.

Yields about 24 squares
