Marshmallow Rice Squares

I haven’t made these in a while so when a co-worker suggested I make some I happily obliged. This is one of those simple dishes that, with just a few ingredients, bring a sugary, sweet smell to the kitchen and satisfies a sweet tooth.
It’s one of the first recipes I remember making with my grandmother. She always had a box of rice cereal and a bag of marshmallows in the cupboard for when we came over–though she always used margarine at the time. If I remember correctly, it was my middle brother that always asked for these. And I don’t think we ever let them cool completely before eating.
In an attempt to deviate slightly from classic recipe I add about 1/2 – 3/4 cup of almonds and drizzle the final product with a bit of caramel.
