THE ORIGINAL RICE KRISPIES TREATS SQUARES
This is the recipe for the original rice krispies treats squares...It never fails! Plus, it is a great way to use up a box of cereal! For best results, use fresh marshmallows. I have replaced the butter once with Mott's Healthy Baking butter or oil substitute (it was basically an unsweetened apple sauce) and they still turned out great!

This is the original recipe we all grew up with. I'm old now and I still enjoy them! They are quick and easy to make. They freeze well and they also travel well. Most kids love them. (You can substitute 4 cups miniature Marshmallows or 1 jar (7 oz.) Marshmallow Creme for the regular Marshmallows.)
