Scale

- 3 tablespoons (45 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 6 cups (about 180 g) crispy rice cereal
- 2 cups (about 60 g) Ruffles potato chips, lightly crushed

Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 3 tablespoons (45 g) of unsalted butter without browning it, about 2-3 minutes.

- Cut into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife warmed under hot water for cleaner cuts. Serve immediately or store as desired.
Notes
Use low heat to melt marshmallows to avoid scorching. Crush Ruffles lightly by hand to keep crunch. Press treats gently to maintain texture. Use a buttered spatula or wax paper to prevent sticking. Warm knife under hot water for clean cuts. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze up to 1 month.
