There's nothing like stirring a warm, gooey bowl of Rice Krispie treats and marshmallow; then shaping them in the pan with the anticipation of taking that first crunchy, marshmallow bite. Rice Krispie treats are so easy and fun to make it's no wonder many families make this a group project. They can be made for any occasion and there are so many ways to jazz up the recipe. It's simple, inexpensive homemade fun!

1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 (10 ounce) package regular marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Melt butter in large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until melted and mixed well. Remove from heat.
Add cereal and stir until well coated.
Using a piece of waxed paper or a greased spatula, press the mixture firmly in a buttered 13x9 inch pan. Cut into 2x2 inch squares when cool.
