Happy Tax Day! If you're like me, doing anything as tedious as taxes, leaves me wanting to do absolutely nothing. So today I bring you the simplest recipe of all time. But trust you me, simple does not mean it does not taste good. It is still super delicious.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
4 cups marshmallows
5 cups rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
Melt the butter in a large saucepan on low heat
 |
| butter |
 |
| Melted butter |
And stir
Keep stirring
It will become non-lumpy and look like really thick milk
 |
| Or what most people call cream |
Add in the rice cereal
 |
| Don't be shy, give it a good stir |
Let it sit for 15-20 minutes. When it has cooled, cut it into squares.
And there you go. As promised, a simple recipe that will ease the burden of the horrid tax season
 |
| Enjoy! (ps - I didn't cut it perfect squares. I blame it on the IRS) |

Excuse me while I drool. Haven't made this yet- but definitely will soon! Any suggestions on how to incorporate chocolate in this? Maybe a chocolate drizzle? Still drooling.
ReplyDeleteWellll here is a suggestion:
ReplyDelete1) melt a small bag (6oz or so) of sweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips (best probably to do this in a pyrex measuring cup in the microwave)
2) after you have pressed the still warm rice cereal mixture into the pan - drizzle the chocolate onto it in pretty zig zags.
3) let me know how it turns out ;-)
Marshmallow treats AND chocolate= divine! So glad you posted this recipe! =D
ReplyDeletei made a batch of this in 1999 using golden grahams cereal. i left them in a storage box on the counter and went out for a bit.
ReplyDeletecome back home, only 1 delicious square left. i raged at roommate. never made it again.
