Recipe Tips

You can also use a piece of parchment paper to line the bottom of the dish. When pressing down the mixture, you can use a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap to prevent it from sticking to the spatula. Finally, if you are having trouble getting the Rice Krispie squares out of the dish, you can run a knife around the edges to loosen them up.
