Classic Rice Krispies Treats

1Prepare a baking pan approximately 25 x 18 cm by lining it with baking paper or lightly greasing it with butter or oil.

2In a medium saucepan, melt 40 g of unsalted butter (40 g) over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

3Once the butter has melted, add 200 g of marshmallows (200 g) to the pan. Stir continuously over low heat until the marshmallows (200 g) are almost completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.

4Remove the pan from heat immediately to prevent burning.

5Add 100-150 g of puffed rice cereal (100-150 g) to the melted marshmallow mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the puffed rice (100-150 g) is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

6Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using a buttered spatula or a piece of greased baking paper, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan to create a compact layer.

7Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature or place the pan in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until firm.

8Once set, cut the treats into bars or squares of your preferred size.

9Store the Rice Krispies treats in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
