Lightly coat a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray to avoid sticking. Set aside.

Remove the pot from heat and quickly add the Rice Krispies cereal, stirring until the cereal is well coated with the marshmallow mixture.

Step 6

With a spatula or wax-paper coated with cooking spray, evenly spread the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Press gently to create an even layer.
