Notes
Melt the butter completely before adding the marshmallows.
Don't overcook the marshmallows - You do not want to overcook the marshmallows, making the final gluten-free rice krispies hard.
Reserve some marshmallows to add with the cereal.
Use a wooden spoon - It can be a little hard to stir this together with the cereal, so you need something to mix it all together.
Press gently - I know the urge to press down hard and compact your rice krispie treats into the pan, but the harder you press, the harder they will be once they set.
Vary the pan - I like my Rice Krispie treats thick, so I tend to push them into a smaller pan. If you want them thinner, put them into a bigger pan.
