The Lunch Hour - Rice Crispy Treats

This was actually the first thing I did at work as a treat and you don't need a toaster oven at all, just a microwave.

Tools needed:
Large bowl
Plastic spatula
Large (9x11) glass pan to make a form.

Ingredients:
1 16 oz. or 2 8-10oz Bag(s) of marshmallows
1 box of puffed Rice cereal
1/2 cup of butter (1 stick) - cut up into pieces

Place the butter into a large bowl and microwave until it is all melted; usually about 1 minute on high. Place all the marshmallows in the bowl and melt for about a minute and a half. As with chocolate, the marshmallows will look solid but when you start stirring they will dissolve into a gooey, swirly, marshmallowy blob. As soon as the marshmallows have turned into a huge blog then add the box of crispy rice cereal. Keep stirring with your spatula until all the cereal is coated with marshmallow. As soon as it is all blended pour into your glas pan and pat down to form. You can either let it cool out on the counter or place it in the fridge to cool down quicker. Just to warn you, this recipe makes for some extra marshmallowy goodness, if you would like your a bit drier just put in less marshmallows. As soon as it it cool you can start cutting up your treats into whatever size you would like. Enjoy!
