  8. Let them cool on the counter. You can serve whenever you want, but I like to cover mine, refrigerate, and serve cold.
  9. Cover them with a lid or foil and refrigerate for about 1 hour.

Notes

Marshmallow cream is easier to handle when it is slightly warm. You can always dip the spatula in hot water to make it easier to remove the cream out of the jar. 
Serving them cold is a great way to enjoy this treat.
If you don’t have a stove, you can simply heat the butter in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl, add the cream, and then the Rice Krispie cereal.
