Vanilla Almond Rice Krispies Treats

SaraFish's Note:

A variation of Kellog's Rice Krispies Treats Original recipe. Just the added dash of vanilla and almond extracts makes these scrumptious!

• Total Time: 7 mins
• Prep Time: 2 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 24 two inc ...

• 3 tablespoons margarine
• 4 cups mini marshmallows
• 6 cups crispy rice cereal (Rice Krispies)
• 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract

Directions:

1. Melt margarine in large non-stick pan (I use my T-Fal Dutch oven) over medium-low heat.
2. Add marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth.
3. Turn off flame.
4. Stir in extracts.
5. Fold in cereal and continue folding until well coated.
6. Spray 13 X 9 pan with cooking spray and press mixture into pan (I spray my hand with a little Pam and then use my hand but you can use the back of a buttered spoon if you don't have asbestos fingers like mine).
7. Cool and cut into squares.

This recipe is very easy to make. It tastes great, but I am planning to add a little more marshmallows and butter as it is just a tad dry. Rene'

yum yum! my dd and i made these this afternoon! i cut the recipe in half, but kept the butter amount the same...i know, but everything is better with more butter!! i loved the additional flavor from the vanilla and almond extract (i like to add both extracts to my butter cookies as well). thanks for posting, this is a keeper!

The vanilla and almond extracts add a subtle decadence to a sentimental recipe. I scaled back to 1/2 teaspoon on each, simply because I was nervous and didn't want the flavor to be too overwhelming,
