1/4 c. (1/2 stick) butter
1 pkg. (10 1/2 oz.) Kraft miniature marshmallows
6 c. crisp rice cereal

Microwave butter in large microwave-safe bowl on HIGH 45 seconds or until melted. Add marshmallows; toss to coat with butter.

Gift giving tip: For holiday shapes, let mixture cool 10 minutes after mixing in cereal. Create desired shapes (snowman, bell, star, etc.) by pressing mixture into greased metal cookie cutters or by forming with greased hands. Turn out onto greased wax paper. Decorate, as desired, with assorted candies.
