FAT-FREE RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Steps:

• Prep a 9x13 (23x33cm) dish by lightly spraying with non-stick cooking spray. (You can use oil, margarine or butter, but it will add a trace amount of fat.)
• In large saucepan, spray with cooking spray if the pan with cooking spray. (Do not use cooking spray on non-stick pans.) Melt honey over low heat. Add marshmallows and salt. Stir until completely melted.
• Remove from heat; immediately stir in rice cereal until well coated.
• Pour mixture into prepared dish and press mixture down with the back of the spoon, or a piece of wax paper that is coated with non-stick cooking spray. Let cool before cutting and slicing, about 1/2 hour.

CLASSIC CRISPY RICE TREATS

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each of the longer sides. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
• Working quickly, add the rice cereal to the pot and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and press into an even, compact layer. (Spray your hands with a little cooking spray to keep them from sticking when pressing the cereal mixture into the pan). Decorate with toppings if using (see Cook's Note).
• Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into 24 squares. Store the cereal treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
