IT BEGINS AS CEREAL AND ENDS AS PIE

DEAR MELBA: My kids are Rice Krispie Treat fanatics. They probably learned this from their mother.

RICE KRISPIE TREAT PIE

Crust

• 1/3 cup butter

• 1 package (10 ounces) miniature marshmallows

• 6 cups Rice Krispies

In saucepan, melt butter and marshmallows and pour over cereal and stir together.

Use glass cup to press mixture into 2 buttered pie pans. Let set up while mixing the filling.

Filling

• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow cream

• 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping

Mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and marshmallow cream together and fold in whipped topping.

Divide equally into pie crusts. Garnish with whipped topping or grate chocolate candy bar over the top and refrigerate until ready to serve. Each pie serves 8.
