Notes

  • Butter: I like to use salted butter in this recipe. The little bit of salt in the butter helps to balance out the sweetness. If you're using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt.
  • Marshmallows: You can use 16 ounces of large marshmallows and 10 ounces of miniature marshmallows if you prefer.
  • Rice Krispies cereal: Or another brand of crispy rice cereal.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
