Bec 's Note:
This is the recipe for the original rice krispies treats squares...It never fails! Plus, it is a great way to use up a box of cereal! For best results, use fresh marshmallows. I have replaced the butter once with Mott's Healthy Baking butter or oil substitute (it was basically an unsweetened apple sauce) and they still turned out great!
Directions:
1
Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
2
Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted.
3
Remove from heat.
4
(It would be perfect to be measuring out all of the cereal at this time, having it ready in a large bowl.).
5
Working quickly, add rice krispies cereal, and stir until the cereal is well coated.
6
Using a buttered spatula or waxed paper, press the mixture evenly into a greased 13 by 9 by 2 inch pan (or whatever pan you have on hand).
7
When the treats are cooled, cut into squares.
8
Serve, and enjoy!

Yum yum!! Delicious, classic recipe! I switched it up a bit and threw in a teaspoon of vanilla and a drop or two of almond extract and a tiny bit of maple flavoring - delicious!!
