Rice Krispie Squares

Yeah, I know, no one needs to be told how to make these; no one that is except for someone wh has never made them, or only makes them like once a year.

Ingredients

  • 5 cup mini marshmallows (about 1 bag)
  • ¼ cup margarine
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies
  • Sprinkles
  • Colored sugar

Instructions

  1. Put the margarine in a large microwave safe bowl and heat until melted, about 1 minute.
  2. Pour the marshmallows in the bowl and toss to coat them with the melted margarine
  3. Put the bowl back in the microwave for about a minute to melt the marshmallows; after 1 minute remove and stir, you'll likely need to repeat this step again, for about another 30-45 seconds to get them fully melted and creamy.
  4. Once the marshmallows are smooth pour in the vanilla and stir to fully mix it in
  5. Pour the rice krispies into the bowl and begin to mix.
  6. Pour in some sprinkles, however many you like, I usually use about ¼ cup but use as many or as little as you want. Continue mixing.
  7. With the mixture mostly done pour a tablespoon or two of colored sugar in and continue stirring, this will fully melt into the marshmallows and leave some nice coloring. Skip this step if you want.
  8. Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13 greased pan (use margarine) and press down; I like to use a spatula with a coat of margarine for this job, otherwise the mixture is going to stick to whatever you use and refuse to press.
  9. Put in fridge to cool and set, should be ready in about an hour.
