THE ORIGINAL RICE KRISPIES TREATS SQUARES
This is the recipe for the original rice krispies treats squares...It never fails! Plus, it is a great way to use up a box of cereal! For best results, use fresh marshmallows. I have replaced the butter once with Mott's Healthy Baking butter or oil substitute (it was basically an unsweetened apple sauce) and they still turned out great!

Steps:
- Grease an 8x8x2-inch pan with cooking spray.
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add sweetened condensed milk. Stir with a rubber spatula until butter and milk are uniformly combined and small bubbles are forming in the center of the mixture, about 2 minutes. (When you first begin stirring they will look separated.) Add the bag of marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth. Add vanilla extract and salt and stir again. Remove from heat.
- Stir rice cereal and remaining cup of marshmallows into the pot to combine. Transfer to the prepared pan and press down lightly with a sheet of plastic wrap; don't pack them down too hard or they will lose their inherently soft and gooey texture. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Let set up on the counter for at least 1 hour. Cut into 16 squares.

Tips:
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Old or stale marshmallows will not melt as smoothly and can make the treats too chewy.
- Be careful not to overcook the marshmallow mixture. If the mixture is overcooked, it will become too thick and difficult to stir. This will also make the treats too hard.
- Add the butter to the marshmallow mixture gradually. Adding the butter all at once can cause the mixture to seize up.
- Stir the rice cereal into the marshmallow mixture until it is evenly coated. Do not over-stir, as this can break up the cereal and make the treats too crumbly.
- Press the treats firmly into the pan. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the knife.
- Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
