Notes
Recipe Tips
- If you don't have a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the marshmallows and butter in a medium-sized bowl and place rice krispies in a large bowl.
- Add the melted marshmallow mixture to the rice krispies instead of adding the rice krispies to the marshmallows. See video for clarification.
- Though these can be served immediately, they taste best when cooled to room temperature.
