10 years ago we had a snow/cold day from work.  One of the few where we were told to work from home if we could and if not - do what you can.  At the time we were at different jobs and had less options for remote work.  That was the last time I made these Rice Krispie Treats... with extra marshmallows.  Recently I'd been looking online for a good price on the marshmallow bits in my late night scrolling hours.  I walked into work one morning - and there sat a 2 1/2 pound container of the exact thing I was looking at on Amazon... Did I accidentally order them?  Did someone spy on my browsing history?  What on earth!!  Turns out they were a gag gift at someone's family Christmas and they brought them in.  He encouraged me to take some home - and so I did!  10 years almost to the day of that snow/cold day - the kids had a snow day/remote day from school - what did I make?  These amazing Rice Krispie Treats.  The recipe is the same- my tips also remain the same.  The pan? is almost empty and I'll be making another batch for our Iowa family coming in next weekend.  I might have to get my own 2 1/2 pound container to have and hold myself... maybe...
