    MasterCook is a software program to store and access recipes. Costs
    about $10-20 and you can find it at BestBuy in the US.

    donna

    Yes, the software comes with several cookbooks, but you can build your
    own using your own recipes, and add friends' cookbooks, as well.
    Comes in both PC and Mac versions.

    It can usually be purchased by the manufacturer (www.valusoft.com),
    but their site is filled with 404 errors at present. Most any store
    that carries computer software should have it, and it's readily
    available on eBay, too.

    I recently purchased Mastercook 9 from Amazon. The software that
    Valuesoft.com makes does not have a version for the Mac.

    Mastercook is also problematic for users of Vista and currently they do not
    plan to put out a version for Vista.

    Thanks for the correction. There *are* older versions of the software
    that can be used with a Mac. I guess eBay is your friend.

    Rice Krispie Bars

    Recipe By :Carol Peterson

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    3 tablespoons butter
    10 ounces marshmallows
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    6 cups Rice Krispies

    Melt butter in large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir
    until completely melted. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and mix well.
    Add cereal. Stir until well coated.

    Using buttered spatula or waxed paper, press mixture evenly into 13 x
    9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cut into squares when cool.
    Best if served the same day.

    I will differ. It's the butter (not margarine, please!) that makes
    all the difference.
    Variation: try coconut extract in addition to vanilla. Almond is
    nice, too.

    Best-- Terry

    Must be terribly slow eaters!

    In my house, with only me, they'd last about 3 minutes. Strangely,
    after not eating these spawns of Hell for 40 yrs, I'm currently
    addicted to the damn things. It's all I can do to NOT go down and buy
    a couple of the super humongo sized ones at the mini-mart. I blame
    Kellog's and think all breakfast cereals and sugar should be banned
    forever so I will not be tempted and I'll sue anyone else who posts
    a reply in this thread or in this newsgroup or anywhere on the web or
    anywhere in the entire galaxy!! 😉

    Oh, I thought the butter was a given, Terry! LOL! We have a roommate
    who experiments with different extracts when making caramel corn.
    Never thought to try that with Krispies.

    Vanilla extract isn't really very secret. 🙂

    Shhhhhhhhh! It's not in the original recipe, but it really enhances
    the flavor of the bars. Don't tell anyone.

    <cringe> to me, rice krispie bars are best unadulterated by other
    flavors. Their classic simplicity is what I like about them. I don't
    know the last time I made them but after reading this.. I suspect I'm
    going to find some marshmallows and rice krispies in my grocery cart
    pretty soon?

    Do try it with vanilla if you haven't already. The taste is subtle
    but a definite asset.

    Vanilla is almost universally loved, is it not? I put huge doses of
    it in my French toast stuff.

    Egg yolks, half&half (or heavy cream), and lots of vanilla extract are
    all I put in it. I use Brownberry Natural Wheat Bread
    http://brownberry.gwbakeries.com/product.cfm/upc/7341001722
    and cook it in butter.

    Only in Classic mode, which means it won't work on a Macintel.

    I've been using Yum!

    <http://www.nixanz.com/products/yum/README.html>

    There may be something better, but I haven't tried because I have so
    many recipes in Yum and no easy way to convert them to other formats.
