Ingredients
Scale
Cereal
- 3 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
Marshmallow Mixture
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a large pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add Marshmallows: Add 3 cups of mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Mix Cereal: Remove the pot from heat and immediately add 3 cups of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture.
- Combine: Stir well until the cereal is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture, ensuring an even distribution of sticky sweetness.
- Press Into Pan: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch pan and press the cereal mixture firmly and evenly into the pan using a spatula or wax paper to avoid sticking.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares for serving.
Notes
- For easier pressing and less stickiness, lightly grease your hands or use a piece of wax paper to press down the mixture.
- Store the treats in an airtight container to keep them fresh and chewy.
- Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top before cooling can enhance the cinnamon flavor.
- You can substitute mini marshmallows with regular marshmallows cut into smaller pieces if needed.
- For a gluten-free option, verify the cereal is certified gluten-free.
