If you have ever followed the official recipe from a large nationally known cereal company for a treat and eagerly tasted the results, but were somewhat disappointed, you weren't alone. Yet I have purchased the actual treats made by them and they were delicious. I suspect that they are not using the same recipe that has been published for many years. So after a little investigation and hoping to get better results, I came up with this recipe and hope you like it as much as our family did.
- 1 box crispy rice cereal
- 1 stick butter
- 2-10 oz. packages marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Grease a 10 x 13” glass baking dish using part of one stick
of the butter.
- Put all the remaining butter in a 2-quart saucepan and melt
under medium low heat.
- When melted, add the salt and stir.
- Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until they are all melted.
- Add the vanilla and stir.
- Remove from heat and add the cereal in phases, alternately adding and stirring.
- When all the ingredients have been mixed well, pour into the
baking dish and press down, using either aluminum foil or wax paper.
- When cooled, cut into squares and serve.
