Hungry Girl's Krispymallow Treats

I don't link to Hungry Girl. Why? Because she's good and I don't want to drive away traffic.

Her name has come up in my many conversations with WWEppy about Weight Watchers and he bought me a copy of her cookbook as a thank you for spending countless hours talking about points, meal planning and all things WW.

I decided to start my tour of Hungry Girl's book with her krispymallow treats. As a bit of a sweet freak, I'm always looking for dessert after dinner, so why not try something a little more calorically-friendly?

Basically it revamps the original rice krispie recipe by substituting margarine for butter and adding some Fiber One cereal instead of all Rice Krispies. The result? Pretty darn good. The hardest part was having enough patience to wait for the marshmallows to melt and they actually tasted better the next day after the marshmallows had a chance to stiffen up a bit.

A whole tray cut into 16 pieces worked out to 1.25 WW points per piece and was quite satisfying. Recipe below... check it out for yourself!

5 cups puffed wheat cereal
2 cups Fiber One bran cereal (original)
3 cups mini-marshmallows
3 tbsp light whipped butter or light buttery spread

Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Add both cereals. Stir until thoroughly coated.

Using a spatula, press mixture evenly into a 9"x13" baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray. (ed note: I used my hands and a 8"x10" pan) Allow to cool. Cut into 25 squares.
