CLASSIC CRISPY RICE TREATS
Gooey marshmallows and crispy rice cereal come together in this recipe for the all-original favorite.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cereal treats will be. Opt for real butter, pure vanilla extract, and fresh marshmallows.
- Don't overcook the marshmallows: Overcooked marshmallows will make the cereal treats tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are melted and smooth.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: Cereal treats are a great way to use up leftover candy, nuts, or dried fruit. Be creative and add whatever you like!
- Let the cereal treats cool completely before cutting them: This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
