Rice Krispy Treats

6 c. crispy rice cereal

1/4 c. butter

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat on the stove. Add marshmallows and stir until the are melted. Add in cereal and stir until it is all well coated with the marshmallow mixture. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and press firmly. Or, I pour mine  onto a piece of greased waxed paper and press into into whatever shape I want - a heart for Valentine's Day or a Hershey Kiss shape, etc. Allow to cool, then cut and eat.
