Is the butter amount REALLY 1 1/4 cups for the pan? I think a regular pan of rice crispy bars calls for 1/4 cup, so this seems wrong! If it’s correct, please tell how the extra butter makes it better. Thanks so much.

Hi Linda, this recipe was came to us from the State Fair Recipes contest and is reprinted exactly as submitted from the winning baker. That said, I always tailor recipes when making them in my kitchen and you could certainly try this with only 1/4 cup of butter; let us know how it turns out!
