These are always a big hit at work; they're usually gone in record time.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup regular margarine or butter

• 1 6-10 oz. package regular marshmallows (about 40)

  OR

  4 cups miniature marshmallows

• 5 cups Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal

What to do

• Place a small lump of margarine into a paper towel and use to grease a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan, then wipe the pan off with a dry paper towel. This will keep the bars from sticking to the pan when they are placed on it.

• Measure margarine into 3-quart saucepan; melt over low heat. Add marshmallows and cook, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are melted and mixture is very syrupy. Remove from heat.

• Add Rice Krispies cereal; stir until well-coated.

• Spread warm mixture in the greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Using waxed paper or buttered spatula press firmly into an even layer. (I normally use a butter knife to do this; dipping the knife into a glass of water occasionally will keep the Rice Krispies from sticking to it as you shove them into the pan)

• Cut into squares when cool. (This is normally about 10 minutes after placing the mixture into the pan.)

Results

• 24 2-inch square bars.

Other Ideas

• Flavored marshmallows (usually the ones that are green, orange, etc.) may be used to change the taste of your Treats just enough that it will be noticeable.

• For Christmas, consider using the red and green colored Rice Krispies that normally are sold around Christmastime, to give your bars that festive holiday appearance. :-)
