Crispy Rice Bars
4
tablespoons margarine, butter or coconut oil
6
cups crispy rice cereal
1
16 ounce bag of marshmallows (fresh mini marshmallows work best)
In
a large saucepan, heat the butter on medium heat until it melts. Add
marshmallows and stir constantly until marshmallows all melt. Remove from heat.
Add crispy rice cereal and stir well. Using a greased spatula, spread mixture
in a buttered 15 X 10 inch pan. Cut into bars when cooled.
Okay, now for the variations:
Add vanilla or rum or orange or lemon extract, a teaspoon or two.
Add a cup of nuts, or raisins or any dried fruit, or a cup of chocolate bits (or a third a cup of each!).

Add
any spices you like, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, cardamon.

Or be daring and trying a bit of pepper and hot sauce to the cocoa! Strange but good if you like it weird and spicy!

How about a Thanksgiving disaster? Managed to cook the turkey in the "cooler" that was also a heater (to my surprise) on the way to our lakeside cottage for the holiday. Had to throw the bird in the oven right away to finish it upon arrival. It was ready around 2 a.m. GAH!
Nice post. Amazing what a little color will do to the appetite, eh? Green catsup, anyone?
Well my mom burned boiled eggs once! Forgot they were on the stove and the water boiled away! They exploded! YUCK! And the sulfur smell! Thanks for sharing your catastrophe, Susan!
