Recipe: New & Improved Rice Krispie Treats
Summary: December 24 - A Cookie A Day Until Christmas! There’s nothing really “New & Improved”, I just wanted to get your attention. I don’t know about you, but I’m enjoying my Christmas Eve and not stressing over cookies. I have never met anyone that didn’t like Rice Krispie treats, but if you’re bored with them, try some of the optional mix-in’s. Merry Christmas!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 – 10 ounce bag of marshmallows

Variations
Mix-in’s:
