  • 5 tablespoons small marshmallows
  • 6 tablespoons rice crispy
  • ½ tablespoon (¼ oz/7g) butter (tiny knob)

Equipment

  • mug

Directions
 

  1. Place the marshmallows in the bottom of a microwave-safe mug.
  2. Top with the rice cereal, then the butter.
  3. Microwave for 15-20 seconds, until the marshmallows are gooey and melted (this timing is for a 1200W microwave, so yours may differ).
  4. Stir until evenly combined, then let cool and set for about 5 minutes.

Notes

For a gift mug, the marshmallows and cereal are the dry part; butter is added at serving. Hot marshmallow: let it cool before eating.
