Add the Cereal

Working quickly, pour the rice krispie cereal into the melted marshmallow mixture and stir rapidly until every piece is evenly coated before the mixture begins to set.

3

Press into Pan

Transfer the mixture to a buttered 8x8 inch pan or dish and press down firmly using a buttered spatula or damp fingers to compact into an even layer.
