The kind that could feed a whole family The recipe is pretty simple, In fact I think there are very few recipes that are easier to make. I have been getting a lot of comments lately from some really nice people thanking me for having pretty simple recipes. I want to thank you all for reading them, and taking the time to comment. Especially if it is an idea on how to improve my website. I have always thought cooking should be simple and I honestly believe the simpler the recipe the better it tastes. It may be the fact that I don’t like complicated recipes. Anyhow, here is another sweet and simple one for you.. I hope you try it soon. I added the recipe below, just in case you forgot.

I have found that the treats stay fresher tasting and softer if I actually remove the pan from the heat when the marshmallows are only about two thirds melted, and then let the heat of the pan and already melted marshmallows melt the rest. My daughter often ends up with ‘crunchy’ krispie treats because she leaves it on the burner until completely melted. (This may be because our pan is heavy stainless steel.)
