Rice Krispy Treats made easier

Have you ever made Rice Krispy treats and burnt the butter or the marshmellows on top on the stove?

I learned this trick when I was working for Golden Corral.

Put 6 tsp (3/4 stick) of butter or margarine (not soft substitute) and a bag of small marshmellows into a large glass/ceramic bowl.  Heat in microwave for two minutes.  Stir until all the lumps are out.  Then add about four to six cups of Rice Krispys.  Just make sure the mixture isn’t too dry.  I just keep adding the cereal until it looks right.

I have also found that the generic brand at Walmart actually makes the treats better because they stay crispier longer.  I have also used the soft margarine substitute and the treats were not as good.  Not as crispy and the taste is different, too.
