COCOA PUFF CRISPIES 
6 c. Cocoa puffs
1/4 c. butter
40 large marshmallows
1 (12 oz.) pkg. milk chocolate chips

Place cereal in large bowl; set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and marshmallows. Microwave, uncovered on high for 3 minutes; stir. Continue cooking until smooth, stirring after each minute until melted. Add chocolate chips and stir until melted.

For stove top directions - melt butter in 3 qt. sauce pan, add marshmallows. Lower heat stirring constantly until marshmallows are melted. Add chocolate chips and stir until melted.

Pour mixture over cereal; stir until well-coated. Spread evenly in a greased 13 X 9 X 2 inch pan. Cool before cutting.

Yield: 2 dozen.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

 Sweet Mama (California) says:
I tried this recipe because my picky kids wouldn't eat the bargain cocoa puff cereal I bought. It ended up tasting good, but there wasn't enough butter in the marshmallows to make a smooth mixture, it ended up too thick. I added a little more butter, then "buttered" my hands and mixed the cereal/marshmallow combo with my hands. Turned out great!
