Marshmallows

I think marshmallows are the bee's knees. They're good for s'mores, they're awesome as a decoration, and are super keen in hot chocolate.

But they're also good for making crunchy, chewy, wonderful rice crunchie treats.

Rice Crispy Treats
3 Tbs. of butter
1 package of regular marshmallows (10 oz.) or 4 cups of mini marshmallows
6 cups of rice puff cereal (like Rice Krispies)

If you have a huge microwave safe bowl:
Put the butter in the bowl and melt it. Microwave times vary, so I'm not even going to try. Don't leave the microwave unattended, in case something surreal happens.
When the butter is melted add the marshmallows.
Now microwave those until they're melted, stirring every fifteen to thirty seconds depending on the strength of your microwave.
When they're melted, add the rice cereal and until all of the little rice bits are covered. Depending on how soon they're going to be consumed, you can either eat them straight out of the bowl or spread them into a greased 9'x13' pan. You can grease the pan with butter, shortening, or something like 'Pam'.

If your microwave safe bowl is not huge:
Just follow the instructions above, except you don't pour the cereal into the marshmallows, you pour the marshmallows over a the cereal which is in some kind of big bowl.

If you don't like Rice Krispies:
Use Cheerios.

I love Cereal Treats. They are awesome, and a super fast dorm sweet, or birthday cake substitute.

You can also melt the butter and marshmallows on a stove top.
