It's Hot! Microwave only! - Cereal Snacks

Yes, almost everyone has had them. A lot of people have made them. But dang-it, sometimes you have a hankerin' for some Rice Krispie treats and the recipe isn't on the box! I made them recently and had Stephen make more the next day because they were all gone already. I'm putting it on here so next time I tell him to make them I don't have to explain where to find the recipe and hope that he is getting the right one. I am also putting puppy chow because it is also a microwave snack and it is one of those you just forget about.

Rice Krispie Treats

1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
10 oz marshmallows (normal bag)
6 C Rice Krispies

Measure out 6 C of cereal in a large bowl. Melt butter in microwave, then add marshmallows and microwave until melted. Make sure to watch them, they can get massive in there! Stir well and pour over cereal. Mix well and put mixture into a 9X13 pan and gently press to even it out. You can use waxed paper so your fingers don't stick. Allow to cool and cut into servings.

Puppychow

9 cup Chex
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Put cereal in large bowl. Melt peanut butter, butter, chocolate chips and vanilla in a smaller bowl in the microwave. Make sure not to burn the chocolate, you might want to microwave 30 seconds at a time and stir. Pour chocolate mixture over cereal and stir gently until it is all coated. Put the chocolate cereal mixture into a 2 gallon Ziploc bag and add the powdered sugar. Shake until coated. Spread out onto a cookie sheet or a 9X13 pan to cool so it doesn't get mushy in the bag.
