Frugal Foodie: Microwavable Rice Krispie Treats

Craving a sweet treat after dinner but all out of ice cream? This microwavable Rice Krispie Treat recipe is the perfect single-serve dessert. With each serving using just a small amount of ingredients, one box of cereal can go a long way!

Ingredients:

-4 large marshmallows

-1 teaspoon butter

-½ cup Rice Krispie cereal

-¼ chocolate chips (optional) 

Directions:

Step 1: Place marshmallows and butter in a microwave-safe mug or bowl. Be sure to choose a microwave-safe vessel that has at least an inch of space at the top, because marshmallows expand when microwaved. 

Step 2: Microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until marshmallows have melted along with the butter. Stir the mixture quickly until well combined.

Step 3: Pour the cereal into the mixture and stir until fully combined. Top with chocolate chips or another sweet topping(s) of your choice, and enjoy!
