(3) mix in the marshmallows and melt them just as slowly. If the butter gets brown, the treats will be dry. We double our recipe and it still fits fine into a 13x9 pan (grease the pan w/butter). To make them truly gooey use the following measurements: 11.5 cups Rice Krispies, 1 whole stick of butter, (1) 16oz bag of mini marshmallows. (I always use Jet Puff brand). I've become the neighborhood "treat" maker because the neighbors say theirs never turn out like mine....Show more

Did you look at the recipe? It doesn't say to use " a box" of rice krispies. Such an instruction would be useless, since they come in different sizes of boxes. Look at the recipe and see how much it calls for of each thing, and use half as much....Show more
