1. Grease a Square Baking Dish or Quarter Sheet Pan with Butter Alternative
2. In a medium bowl, measure out the Rice Cereal and set-aside while you prepare the Marshmallow Mixture (see directions for Microwave & Stovetop below).
3. Once your Marshmallow Mixture is ready, pour over Rice Cereal & begin mixing gently with your spatula until all cereal is coated evenly.  You can add any optional ingredients at this point – but be aware that chocolate chips or candies may melt while the temp is still hot.
4. Pour the coated cereal into your prepared dish & use your spatula to to gently press mixture flat. You may want to grease your fingers or spatula to make this step less ‘sticky.’
5. Let the mixture cool completely & ‘set-up’ so you can cut it easily.  This step takes about 10 minutes, but can be sped up by placing it in the fridge for 3-5 minutes.
6. Use a sharp knife to cut into square or a cookie cutter for fun shapes.
7. Decorate if desired & Enjoy!
