3 T butter**
4 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies
Optional toppings of your choice*
In microwave-safe bowl heat butter and marshmallows on high for 2 minutes, stir, heat 1 additional minute on high. Stir until smooth. Add Rice Krispies, stir until well coated. Using buttered spatula evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Cut into squares.
*Just after you press the mixture into the pan (before it cools), spread/sprinkle with 1 or more toppings of your choice from the list below, or leave plain for a traditional, and equally yummy, treat!
chocolate icing
chocolate chips
peanut butter chips
M&Ms
red licorice chopped into small bits
chopped dried fruit
colored sprinkles/jimmies (look in the cake decorating aisle)
Or anything else you can dream up, let the kids choose. :)
**The original recipe calls for butter OR margarine, but I usually only use butter in my recipes. I like the flavor it adds and it's (slightly) healthier than margarine.
Do you Menu?
Menu Planning may sound like a lot of work, but it's actually one of the laziest things I've ever done. Since I started planning our meals for the week (and eventually the month) I've noticed some improvements in the way we eat and in the way I shop. Knowing what's for dinner not only saves time, it saves money and helps us eat healthier as well.
By planning out the week's meals I can make a more effective list for the grocery store and purchase only those items that we will need for the week. I make fewer impulse and duplicate purchases, and have practically eliminated the mid-week run to the grocery store—not to mention those impromptu take-out nights.
And if you display your menu where the family will see it, you'll never hear the words, "Mom, what's for dinner?" again!
