    Rice Krispies cereal 

Directions

In keeping with good allergy practices, we remind you to be aware of allergens and to check labels on any packaged goods used. This recipe has been tested using Kellogg's® cereal products. Results with other products may vary. 

Recipe Notes

For extra gooey treats add an extra ½ cup of marshmallows. 

Microwaving in intervals prevents the marshmallow from quickly overcooking and becoming rock hard.  

Making this recipe in a smaller pan makes the squares thicker and gooier
