I used to make these all the time when the kids were little. Easy and delicious!
I had my own way of doing this, substituting peanut butter for margarine or butter.
(I have a life-long passion for peanut butter.)
Mmmmm. I was looking forward to this!
I found that old recipe and got started.
The "giant roaster" marshmallows that I got were just about 1 oz. each.
Ten marshmallows, add peanut butter, put in microwave, measure cereal.....
Oops! The marshmallows were flooding all over my microwave!
Luckily I had lots more marshmallows and stuff.
Cleanup wasn't too bad. I was actually laughing over it all.
Here is the REVISED version of how I make my Rice Crispie Treats.
Peanut Butter Rice Crispie Treats
(makes 24)
Spray a 9 X 13 glass pan with GF cooking spray.
Into a LARGE (12 cup) microwaveable pyrex bowl, measure out:
10 oz gluten free marshmallows, and
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter.
Put this in the microwave, and cook 2 minutes on high,
watching closely that it does not puff up so much that it overflows.
Stir. Microwave 1/2 to 1 minute more
Dump in 6 cups of Gluten Free Rice Crispies.
Using a rounded knife or a spatula, stir everything together well and quickly.
Press the mixture into the pan, spraying your fingers or the top of the mixture with your cooking spray. (This keeps it from sticking to you!)
Cut into 24 squares.
