Firstly, for your kitchen oven;

Melt butter (or margarine) in large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows, then stir until melted 

and well blended. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla, then add preferred cereal brand, and stir until

Let cool, and cut into desired number of squares. Makes 24 (5 cm. or 2 in.) squares. Per serving: 1

ml (1 cup) regular/mini marshmallows (approx. 8 large marshmallows)

Secondly, for your microwave;

In large microwaveable bowl, microwave butter (or margarine) on high power (100%) for 30 to 60 

seconds. Add preferred number of marshmallows, and toss mixture to coat all ingredients. Microwave 

again on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until smooth when stirred. Conclude stirring of coated mixture 

after 45 seconds. Follow steps 2 and 3 above, similiar to regular oven recipe. *Also 

important*, above given baking/cooking times are for 700 watt microwave ovens, increase times by 15 

to 30 seconds for lower wattage ovens.
