"moon rocks" snack: This is really "Rice Krispie Treats" which kinda' resemble moon rocks or the moon. Here's the very simple familiar recipe:
You need: 6 cups of Rice Krispies (an off-brand will also work though), 2 cups of miniature marshmallows, 1 & 1/2 tablespoons of butter or margarine, plus butter or margarine for greasing the pan.
Procedure: First, grease a 10 x 13" pan. Melt the marshmallows and butter together in a microwave oven for 2 minutes. Remove it from the oven, stir well, and then return it to the microwave for another 30-40 seconds. (In the meantime, get the Rice Krispies close at hand.) Remove the marshmallow mixture from the microwave and stir again, and then immediately add the Rice Krispies, stirring until the cereal is thoroughly coated. Pour the mixture into the pan and smooth it out (pat the top down flat with the back of a buttered spoon). Keep the "treats" in a cool place for at least 1 hour, and then cut them into squares with a buttered knife.
