Caramel Marshmallow Crispy Rice Bars
  1. 1

    Coat a baking dish and a large bowl with cooking spray. Add cereal to the prepared bowl; place it next to the stove.

  2. 2

    Heat caramel bits and butter in a large saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes; add marshmallows. Continue cooking, stirring regularly, until the marshmallows melt and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Immediately pour the mixture into the center of the cereal; quickly stir until the cereal is fully coated.

  3. 3

    Spread the cereal mixture in the prepared baking dish. Coat the back of a spoon with cooking spray; press the mixture into an even layer with the back of the spoon. Let the cereal mixture cool completely before cutting into squares.
