Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pan

    Grease a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    Melt Butter

    In a large saucepan, melt 0.5 cups of butter over low heat, stirring continuously to avoid burning.

  3. 3

    Add Marshmallows

    Once the butter is melted, add 4 cups of marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 4

    Combine Rice Cereal

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Gradually add 6 cups of rice cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture, stirring until the cereal is fully coated.

  2. 5

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, mix in 1 cup of chocolate chips, 0.5 cups of peanut butter, or sprinkles to the mixture, ensuring even distribution.

Setting the Treats

  1. 6

    Transfer to Pan

    Use a spatula or your hands (greased) to press the mixture firmly into the prepared 9x13 inch pan, spreading it evenly.

  2. 7

    Cool and Cut

    Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles and serve.
