Instructions

Add butter and marshmallows to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir the ingredients together and microwave in 30-second intervals until the marshmallows are completely melted. Alternatively, you can melt on the stovetop over medium heat in a large saucepan.
3 Tablespoon Butter, 1 10 ounce Marshmallows
Add rice krispie cereal. Stir until well-coated. Quickly stir in half of the M&M's. Work quickly so the color from the candies does not bleed into the cereal mixture.
6 cup Rice Krispies, 1/4 - 1/2 cup Mini M&M's
Using a rubber spatula coated with butter or wax paper evenly press the melted marshmallow mixture into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish or pan coated with non-stick cooking spray or lined with parchment paper. Cool.
Sprinkle extra M&M's over the top in an even layer. Cut into 2-inch squares making sure there’s a mini M&M on each one for the perfect treat.

Notes

- Room temperature - Let the Rice Krispie squares come to room temperature before storing them.
- Add vanilla - To sweeten up the treats a touch, add some vanilla extract.
- If you want a thicker bar, use a 9 x 9 pan instead of 9 x 13.
- Do not press the mixture aggressively into the pan. Press lightly to keep the bars from becoming hard when it's time to eat them.
