Chocolate Krispy Treats

Melt the butter in a large pan (you need at least a 4 quart sized pan, and that’s on the small side) over medium-low heat. When the butter is mostly melted, add your marshmallows. Stir and continue to heat until marshmallows are melted and smooth, then turn off the heat and add Rice Krispies and stir til it’s all evenly coated. This is going to take a minute or two and give your arm a decent workout – really dig down to the bottom of the pan so you’re getting all the marshmallow in there.

Spread into a buttered 13×9 pan, and press to even out the top using a butter spatula, buttered waxed paper, or a big fork dipped in water every 10 seconds or so.

If you’re going to add chocolate chips or other toppings, now is the time to do it so they’ll stick. If using chips, sprinkle them on, let them sit for five minutes or so to soften a bit, then gently press them into the treats to make sure they adhere.

Let treats cool and cut into rectangles.
