Coffee Marshmallow Crispy Treats

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing pan and hands
  • 1 (10-ounce) package mini marshmallows
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons instant coffee or espresso
  • 6 cups rice cereal (recommended: Rice Krispies)

Directions

Lightly butter an 8-inch square pan.

In a large pot, melt the butter over very low heat. Stir in the marshmallows, getting them all coated with the butter. Slowly melt the marshmallows, stirring frequently. When the marshmallows are melted and smooth, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the instant coffee (2 tablespoons for a rich coffee flavor, 3 tablespoons for a real kick) and mix until it is dissolved into the melted marshmallow. Gently fold in the rice cereal. When it is completely coated, lightly press the mixture into the prepared pan with your buttered hands. When cool, cut the treats into bars and serve.

Yield about 24 bars

Argh! Curse you, foul temptress, for invoking the treats of crispyness! You know, I've come up with awesome low carb cakes, cookies and even candy, but there's just no hope for the krispies. Alas!
