It’s all about the ‘mallows.
Growing up, Rice Krispies squares were the treat most often found in our cupboard.
One thing I distinctly remember, however, is how hard the squares were.

For context, theoriginal Rice Krispies brandrecipe calls for 3 tablespoons of butter, one 10-oz.
pack of regular marshmallows, and 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal.
We also used to throw in a teaspoon of vanilla, for a little extra flavor.
Coat the cereal in the mixture, and then stir in the remaining whole 1/3 package of mini marshmallows.
And, don’t get me started on the warm, gooey “batter.”
Once you start reserving some of your marshmallows to stir in later you’ll never go back!
