Crazy Good Crispy Rice Treats

I've never been the biggest fan of crispy rice treats.  I'd eat one here and there, but never have a second.  Until I had one at Bunko.  And then a second.  I couldn't believe how good they were and asked the hostess what her secret was.  She laughed and told me it was an insane amount of butter.  I played around with them and come to find out, she was right.  Lots of butter makes some Crazy Good Crispy Rice Treats!

1 (10.5 ounce) bag marshmallows
1/2 cup butter
4 cups crispy rice cereal

Combine marshmallows and butter in a large microwave safe bowl.  Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each 30 seconds, until marshmallows and butter are melted; about 2 minutes total.  Once marshmallows are melted, add crispy rice cereal and mix until thoroughly combined.  Pour mixture into a greased 8 x 8 inch pan and press down (I grease my hands and use my hands).  Let sit for at least 1 hour before cutting.
