Fudge Rice Krispy Heaven

What's easier than raising money for the American Cancer Society when you have fudgy treats to pass out? Absolutely nothing. I just discovered I must raise $100 to participate in the Relay For Life walk against cancer, but at the end of today, my little can was rattling with almost $50! All thanks you these treats, which are even more magically delicious than lucky charms!
With only two weeks left until final exams, my life has been busier and more stressful than ever. Thank god for chocolate.
Yes, I will hit the gym... eventually ;)
Anyways, these are a bit of a mess, but a mess with LOT'S of opportunity to lick the spoon. When you're feeling a little stressed and life gets real crazy, just get some marshmallows and Rice Krispies, and indulge yourself in some well deserved chill time.



My friend Andrew even described them as "absolutely luscious". He's legit.

Line a 9 X 12 inch pan with wax parchment paper. grease parchment paper lightly. This ensure the treats will have easy removal.

1. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and allow to melt completely, stirring occasionally so they don't brown.
