Bake it or Buy it - How to make Homemade Rice Crispies

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (57 g, cut into small pieces for quick melting)
• 4 cup Mini Marshmallows (180 g, regular pink marshmallows work best)
• 6 cup Rice Krispies Cereal (Approximately 180 g, any puffed rice cereal can be used)

Instructions

1. Measure Ingredients

   Measure 1/4 cup butter, 4 cups mini marshmallows, and 6 cups Rice Krispies into separate containers.

   Time: PT1M

2. Melt Butter

   Place the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir gently until fully melted, about 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Low heat

3. Melt Marshmallows

   Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter. Continue stirring over low heat until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Low heat

4. Combine Cereal

   Remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately add the Rice Krispies cereal and fold gently until every piece is evenly coated with the marshmallow‑butter mixture.

   Time: PT1M

5. Grease Pan

   Lightly grease the inside of the 8×8 inch pan with a thin layer of butter (or spray). This prevents sticking.

   Time: PT1M

6. Press Into Pan

   Transfer the marshmallow‑cereal mixture into the greased pan. Using a butter‑ed spatula or flat knife, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan so it holds together when cut.

   Time: PT1M

7. Cool and Cut

   Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 15‑20 minutes until set. Once firm, lift the slab out of the pan (if parchment paper was used) and cut into eight equal bars.

   Time: PT20M
