How to Make Crispy Rice Bars

  1. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of margarine in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute on high power.
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  3. Add 10 ounces of marshmallow creme to the bowl and microwave for 1 minute, or until melted and smooth, stirring halfway through.
  4. Stir the melted margarine and marshmallow creme together until well combined.
  5. Add 5 cups of rice cereal, stirring gently but thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan and press firmly and evenly into the pan.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the bars to set completely. (If you live in a warmer climate, you can let them cool at room temperature for 30-45 minutes).
  8. Once set, cut into squares and enjoy!
