the ultimate rct...

yet another secret recipe revealed...  

i called them RCT, because it's just easier to write down the three letters instead of the whole thing.

what you need:

12.5 oz crisp rice cereal (generic is fine, you can use the real stuff if you want)  this weight is equal to about 13.5 cups

20 oz of jet puff mini marshmallows (quality) - 1 bag is 16 oz

1/4 lb unsalted butter (1/2 cup) - i don't use margarine

a bowl large enough to mix everything (i use a metal one, it tends to not stick to the walls too much, but you can use glass or plastic).

a pot large enough to melt butter and marshmallows.

2 cookie sheets or casserole dishes to spread the treats into.

pan spray.

spray the bowl with pan spray and pour the cereal in the bowl.  put 4 oz of marshmallows in with the cereal and mix it all together so they aren't just sitting on the top.

melt the butter in the pot and slowly add the marshmallows until smooth and has a bit of a caramel color to it.

pour the marshmallow mixture over the cereal and slowly fold the cereal over until incorporated, like in the picture to the right.

once it is all stirred up, spray the dish it will set in and pour it in.  spray your hands with pan spray so you can pat down the treats without it sticking to you.  the 2nd dish is just in case you need to split it into another to spread it out.

i usually get about 40 treats that are 2"x2", but cut up into the size you like and enjoy!
