PERFECT CRISPY RICE CEREAL TREATS (FRUIT FLAVORED)

• Spray inside pan (including lining) with non-fat cooking spray.
• Use a large heavy saucepan to melt the butter over LOW HEAT for 2 minutes.
• Add half of the marshmallows and stir constantly over LOW HEAT to melt them. Be careful not to let them stick or burn to the bottom of the pan. It is essential that you do not rush this step!

• TIp: Although I substitute low-fat and low-calorie products for almost everything that I make, this dish definitely turns out best using real butter, and premium quality marshmallows.
• Tip: If fruit flavored is not your thing, but chocolate and/or peanut butter is, you can substitute the fruit flavored marshmallows with plain mini-marshmallows and then add 3/4 cup of smooth peanut butter and/or 3/4 cups of chocolate chips when adding the second half of the marshmallows.
• Tip To speed up cooling place in freezer 15 minutes.
• Tip: Will last 2 days at room temperature or 6 weeks in the freezer.
