Instructions

Line a 9 x 13" pan with parchment paper and set it aside. You can lightly spray the bottom of the pan with nonstick spray to help keep the paper in place, if needed.
Melt butter in a large pot over low heat. Separate 2 cups of marshmallows and set them aside. Add the rest of the marshmallows and stir. Continue to heat on low, stirring with a wooden spoon until the marshmallows are smooth and just melted.

Notes

When spreading the treats in the pan, you can use a rubber spatula to keep it from sticking. You could also spray your hands with cooking spray or place a piece of parchment over the treats and use your hands to press them into the pan
Be sure you don't press the mixture down too hard when placing in the baking pan. Otherwise, the treats may become too hard.
