Caramel Crispy Squares

A few weeks ago, I picked up a box of Caramel Delight Fiber One cereal, thinking that it sounded good. While the flavor was decent, it wasn't quite sweet enough to offset the extra-fibery taste of the cereal (35% of your daily recommended fiber intake!). At about the same time, I got a bag of marshmallows that turned out to be a bit stickier than I would have liked. And so the caramel crisy squares were born!

Caramel Crispy Squares
2 T. butter or margarine
3 cups miniature marshmallows
4 cups Fiber One Caramel Delight cereal
1 cup butterscotch chips

1. Microwave the butter in a large bowl until melted (about 45 seconds).

2. Add marshmallows and toss, microwave 1 minute, stir, and microwave 1 more minute or until marshmallows are melted.

3. Stir in cereal and butterscotch chips.

4. Turn out onto a large sheet of waxed paper and press out until layer is about 1.5 inch thick. It will be very sticky, so do you best. (Alternative - press into greased, foil lined 8 x 8 pan.)

5. Allow to cool, then cut into about 12 squares.
