Welcome to Comfort Dish... Celebrating Food & Family!

Who doesn't love comfort food?

And what could be more comforting than a plate of homemade Rice Krispie Treats? So light, fluffy and fat-free, they couldn't possibly add inches to your waistline (smile). This is a very traditional recipe using the real thing... no off-brand cereal, marshmallows or margarine. And, don't forget the splash of vanilla. Heavenly!

5 1/2 cups Rice Krispies
6 generous cups mini marshmallows
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Melt the butter and marshmallows over medium-low heat. Add vanilla and cereal to melted mixture, quickly incorporating all ingredients. Spread into a buttered 13 x 9 pan. Once cool enough to handle, cut into squares (a non-stick sprayed knife helps) and serve.
