Simply Yummy

Sometimes a girl just needs a Rice Krispies Square.  Or two.

Sometimes a boy needs one, too.

Joking, of course.  But, you get the idea.

The other day, the girls and boys at my house were happy.
All of us were happy.  These have that effect.

I used to laugh about the fact that when I would send these to school

with my children (when my children went to a physical school),

the adults would comment on how they were the best.

What was different about this recipe from the rest?

Perhaps it's the number of marshmallows used?

The ratio of sticky stuff to crunchy stuff is just right?

No skimping on ingredients?  Brand name only?

I'm not exactly sure.

But, they are simply yummy.

~ Simply Yummy Rice Krispies Squares ~

1/3 cup Butter

60 Regular Sized Marshmallows (Jet Puffed)

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

8 cups Rice Krispies (Kellogg's Brand)

In large heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter

with the marshmallows over low heat**.

**Don't be tempted to turn up the heat to hurry them along.
It doesn't work.  It ends in disaster.  Trust me, I know these things.

Be patient.  It takes time.  Stir until completely melted.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

Add in the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until well mixed.

Pour into parchment lined 9 x 13 pan.

Butter hands well and press down until evenly distributed in pan.

Cool in fridge until they hold their shape when cut.

These freeze really well.

Enjoy!

Blessings,
