MARSHMALLOW CRISPY TREATS

• Thoroughly grease a 9- by 13-inch pan with softened butter.
• In a large pot, melt the butter. Stir in the regular marshmallows until they're totally melted. Stir in the salt. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Pour in the cereal, folding gently the whole time until all combined. Then pour in the mini marshmallows and gently fold in. Turn into the buttered pan and press flat. Immediately top with rainbow sprinkles.
• Let cool completely, and then cut into squares.

FALL-LEAF MARSHMALLOW CRISPY TREATS

Steps:

• Combine 3 tablespoons butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons yellow food coloring and 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring in a medium nonstick saucepan. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and 1/2 teaspoon of yellow food coloring to a second nonstick saucepan. Place both pans over medium heat until the butter melts.
• Stir 1 1/2 cups marshmallows into each pan and cook, stirring frequently, until smooth, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and quickly stir 2 cups of cereal into each pan, stirring until the cereal is completely coated.
• Place a silicone cutting board on a work surface. Coat your hands with nonstick spray and drop alternating dollops of the cereal mixtures onto the cutting board to form a rectangle. Press and mold the mixture into a 7 1/2-by-11 1/2-inch rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. (The mixture will cool rapidly, so work quickly!) Alternatively, you can shape the mixture inside a 9-by-13-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper and sprayed with nonstick spray, and then turn it out onto the cutting board.
• Use a 3-inch or 4-inch metal leaf cookie cutter (use various shapes if you like) to cut out leaves. Press the scraps together, keeping the base 1/2-inch thick, and cut out more leaves. Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
