I was wondering if anyone here still makes those rice crispies treats from scratch anymore. A long time ago I remember making them with marshmallows and butter and it turned out really good. Years after that I think they started prepackaging them.

u can see below Rice Krispie Marshmallow Treats Recipe which is from the link http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061123163644AANhm73
Almost everyone loves Rice Krispie Marshmallow Treat bars. This recipe for Rice Krispie treats is an older recipe that makes bars which don't fall apart easily (compared to the recipe on today's boxes).
These are always a big hit at work; they're usually gone in record time.
Ingredients
1/4 cup regular margarine or butter
1 6-10 oz. package regular marshmallows (about 40)
OR
4 cups miniature marshmallows
5 cups Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal
What to do
Place a small lump of margarine into a paper towel and use to grease a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan, then wipe the pan off with a dry paper towel. This will keep the bars from sticking to the pan when they are placed on it.
Measure margarine into 3-quart saucepan; melt over low heat. Add marshmallows and cook, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are melted and mixture is very syrupy. Remove from heat.
Add Rice Krispies cereal; stir until well-coated.
Spread warm mixture in the greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Using waxed paper or buttered spatula press firmly into an even layer. (I normally use a butter knife to do this; dipping the knife into a glass of water occasionally will keep the Rice Krispies from sticking to it as you shove them into the pan)
Cut into squares when cool. (This is normally about 10 minutes after placing the mixture into the pan.)
Results
24 2-inch square bars.
Other Ideas
Flavored marshmallows (usually the ones that are green, orange, etc.) may be used to change the taste of your Treats just enough that it will be noticeable.
For Christmas, consider using the red and green colored Rice Krispies that normally are sold around Christmastime, to give your bars that festive holiday appearance
i hope u like this recipe.

I never made them actually.
I like eating them but it's to much work to make them.

I haven't made them for a long time. I used to make them for my boys and they still won't eat the prepackaged ones because they don't taste like mine. I like that my boys think my cooking and baking is better than anyone else's!
