Rice Krispies Squares - No Sweet-tooth Needed

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons margarine (dairy-free, hydrogenated fat-free)
• 300 g marshmallows
• 7 cups rice krispies
• 1 cup salted peanuts (optional)

Recipe

• 1 in a large pan melt the margarine over a low heat.
• 2 grease a tray that's about 9 x 11 inches and 2 inches deep. also grease the spoon you'll use for stirring with and something like a cake slice.
• 3 add the marshmallows and stir till melted. once melted continue to cook for 3 more minutes.
• 4 remove from heat and add rice cereal and any additional ingredients (e.g. peanuts). mix till all the cereal is coated in marshmallow.
• 5 with the spoon pour the mix out into the greased tray and use the cake slice to press the mixture into the tray.
• 6 if the mix starts to stick to the cake slice you can grease it over top of the marshmallow already stuck on and continue.
• 7 any mixture left over can be put into greased ramikins.
• 8 allow to cool (they will stop being as sticky). this can be sped up in the fridge. i cut my squares apart with a large pizza cutter, but any knife will do.
• 9 squares can then be stored in a tupperware container for around 2 weeks.
• 10 for other flavours add one cup of any of the following: raisins, glacier cherries, cashews, dried cranberries.
• 11 you can also add 1 cup of crunchy peanut butter after you've cooked the marshmallow for 3 minutes, and then continue as normal. these tend to come out very crumbly though still nice.
