BODY

        I.        Let’s start off with what we really need.

A.        To get the best tasting Rice Krispie treat, we will need all the ingredients.

1.        3 tablespoons butter

4 cups JET-PUFFED Marshmallows

6 cups Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® cereal (Kellog’s)

B.        Use the ingredients recommended by Kellog’s.

1. Some substitutes may or may not affect the outcome of the Rice Krispie.

1. 1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow crème can be substituted for marshmallow
2. Diet, reduced calorie or tub margarine is not recommended. (Kellogs)

II.        I’ll demonstrate step by step how to make Rice Krispies.

1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat.

1. For microwave directions:

1. In microwave-safe bowl heat butter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Microwave cooking times may vary.

1. In a larger bowl, add KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal.

1. Add in the marshmallow and better mixture.
2. Stir until well coated.
