Finest Ratio of Marshmallow to Cereal

An vital consider a rice krispie deal with recipe is the ratio of marshmallow to cereal. An excessive amount of cereal and the squares will style dry, crunchy, and bland.

The very best ratio for a 9×13 inch baking pan is 2 10-ounce baggage of mini marshmallows (11 heaping cups) and 9 cups of cereal.

To forestall any form of sticking, line your baking pan with greased parchment paper. I simply evenly spray the parchment paper with a bit of nonstick spray.
