Rice Krispy Treats

I had a fabulous 23birthday weekend, which I'll post on later. Friday before Toddy boy and I left for Jacksonville I was a baking queen! Two types of rice krispy treats and banana bread! Unfortunately, I won't be posting a tutorial on how to make my MeeMaw's banana bread! BUT I will show you how I made my rice krispys!!

First:

Regular Rice Krispy Treats

Ingredients:

• 7 cups Rice Krispy cereal
• 1 16oz bag of large or small marshmallows
• 1/2 stick of butter
• 9 x 13 greased baking dish

Directions:

• Get a microwave safe bowl and melt your butter
• Add the marshmallows to the bowl and microwave for 30 second intervals until melted enough to stir
• Add cereal and stir until evenly coated
• Firmly press mixture into greased dish with wet hands (helps to keep the marshmallow from sticking to your hands)
• I put mine in the refrigerator for a little while till they were cool. Then I cut them and had a taste test!!

Second:

Chocolate/Peanut Butter Krispy Treats

Ingredients:

Topping -

• 1 cup of Peanut Butter
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Filling -

• 7 cups Rice Krispy cereal
• 1 16 oz bag of large or small marshmallows
• 1/2 stick of butter
• 9 x 13 greased baking dish

Directions:

• Make the Rice Krispy treats first. Follow same steps as above.
• After you have pressed the treats in your baking dish microwave your peanut butter and choc chips.
• I melted the chocolate chips first all alone for about 1 minute. Then I added the peanut butter and microwaved another minute or until melted.
• Then pour the chocolate topping over the rice krispys and smooth with spatula
• Refrigerate until chocolate on top is hard
• Slice and serve!!
  

All packed and ready for their trip to our sleepover at Boppa's!!!
