I know these can be safe but the only kind I can buy here are chocolate coated or have lots of fat in. Can anyone post/point me to a recipe? I've tried searching with no restrictions, with different spellings but no luck so far.
Thanks

Hi - I don't even use a recipe for these, they're so easy. Just take one regular size package of marshmallows and melt in a double boiler with 2 T of canola (or safflower, sunflower, soybean) oil. Stir as you're melting. Or, you can put the marshmallows and oil in a BIG bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until everything is smoothly melted. Then stir in as much cereal as you can until the texture is dry but everything is still sticking together. Pat the mixture into a baking dish you've lightly sprayed with oil. It helps to wet your hands with cold water before you pat - less stuff will stick to them.
Also - you can stir in a couple tablespoons (just keep adding to taste) unsweetened cocoa powder to the marshmallow mix as it's melting for a chocolate version without added fat.
Chill the pan till cold and cut into squares.

Somethings I have learnt quickly that people don't tell you,..... only melt the marshmallows until the last one has JUST melted or else you will have hard as a sticky marshmallow squares.
Also - once you decide to pour the marshmallows into the dish work quickly because it becomes pretty firm rather quickly.
Pour your rice krispies into the square pan while you wait for the mallows to melt because trying to pour the mallows from into a bowl and then transfering into the square pan does NOT work.
I am not trying to treat you like a child, merely speaking from experience. I wish someone had told me these tips when I first made them.
It's about 40 marshmallows (lg) to about 4 cups or rice krispies.
Good Luck!

and loved them! The only problem is, they've all gone already!!LOL
My husband asked if you could use 'marshmallow fluff' in them instead, that you buy in jars. He saw the mess made in the kitchen!

I have also experimented with using different flavorings such as coconut, lemon, almond, etc. I just add about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon to the marshmallow mixture as it is about melted and ready to add the cereal to.
