5 Minute Rice Krispie Treat

Serves 12

5-MINUTE MICROWAVE RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Ingredients

1/2 c. butter (1 stick)
1 (16 oz.) bag mini marshmallows
9 c. puffed rice cereal (i.e. Rice Krispies)

Instructions

Grease a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.

Place butter and marshmallows in a LARGE microwave-safe bowl (*see note below if you do not have a large microwave safe bowl) and microwave on high for 1 minute.
Remove bowl from microwave and stir.
Return bowl to microwave and microwave another 30 seconds.
Stir again until marshmallows and butter are completely melted together. You only want it JUST melted.
Fold in rice cereal until well combined.
Place mixture in prepared 9x13 dish and press down evenly (spray a little cooking spray on your hands to prevent sticking).
Allow to cool and serve**
Notes

*If you don't have a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the marshmallows and butter in a medium-sized bowl and place rice krispies in a large bowl. Add the melted marshmallow mixture to the rice krispies (instead of adding the rice krispies to the marshmallows... see video (coming soon) for clarification.

**Though these can be served immediately, they taste best when cooled to room temperature.
