Notes
Saucepan: I used a 5 qt. saucepan, so I can melt the butter and marshmallows and add the cereal directly into it. It's fewer dishes. But if you don't have a big saucepan, once the marshmallow mixture is melted, pour it into a large mixing bowl. Then add the Rice Krispies cereal to it.
The texture of rice krispie treats: This recipe makes an ooey gooey Holiday rice krispie treat. If you prefer a crunchier, drier texture, you will need to adjust the amount of cereal.
