  • 6 cups crisped rice cereal
  • 1 10-oz package Mini Marshmallows (about 4 cups)
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted (Note: not margarine)
  • 1 12-oz pkg Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels

Instructions

Instructions:

  1. In a saucepan melt butter slowly over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. (hint - heat slowly & JUST until melted - don't overheat!) Remove pan from heat.
  2. Measure cereal into large bowl. Add marshmallow mixture & stir until well coated.
  3. Transfer cereal mixture to a 13"x9" pan. Use wax paper to firmly press mixture evenly.
