In microwave-safe bowl heat butter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Follow steps 2 and 3 above. Microwave cooking times may vary.
Note
For best results, use fresh marshmallows.
1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow crème can be substituted for marshmallows.
Diet, reduced calorie or tub margarine is not recommended.
Store no more than two days at room temperature in airtight container. To freeze, place in single layer on wax paper in airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 weeks. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
Kellogg's has reduced the sodium content of Rice Krispies to meet current consumer flavor- and nutrition-preferences. Rice Krispies Treats made with the lower sodium cereal taste great without any added salt, but, if you desire, add 1/4 teaspoon salt to the butter before melting. Continue with recipe as directed.
I remember when I had my first rice krispie square. I made it with my mother, and to this day I remembr sneaking marshmallows out of the mix. I have carried on with this tradition with my family, and I still sneak some marshmallows out of the pot. my son says that he does this with his new family also. JUst be careful how many marshmallows you eat!

2. My sons aren't big fans of coconut. So we roll our ghosts in white sprinkles instead.
