Instructions

1. Melt 8 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan on medium-low heat. We like soft and buttery Rice Krispie Treats so we use more butter in our recipe than most other recipes out there.  Trust us, it makes a difference in the taste.
2. Don't melt the butter too fast or on too high a heat. 
3. Add 8 cups of Mini Marshmallows to the melted butter.
4. Stir the marshmallows so they are completely covered in the melted butter.
5. On medium-low heat, stir the marshmallows continually until they are completely melted.
6. As soon as the marshmallows are melted, take the pan off the heat. Marshmallows that are melted too quickly or heated too long can make your Rice Krispie Treats too hard and crunchy.
7. Add 8 cups of Rice Krispie Cereal to the marshmallow mixture.
8. Gently fold the Rice Krispie Cereal into the marshmallow mixture.
9. Working quickly, keep folding the mixture until every piece of cereal is covered in the marshmallow mixture.
10. Spoon the mixture into a 9x13" pan.  You don't need to grease the pan, the butter in the Rice Krispie Treats will allow the squares to easily release from the pan.
11. Lightly press the mixture into the pan.  You don't want to press the mixture down too compactly, just smooth the top with a spatula or butter your fingers and pat down the top.
12. Let the Rice Krispie Treats cool and then cut them into squares. That's it. So very easy. You'll be done in less than 15 minutes!
