Ingredients  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, plus more for greasing pan
  • 16 oz. marshmallows
  • 12 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal

Instructions 

  • Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan with butter and set it aside.
  • In a large stock pot set over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
  • Once the butter has melted, stir in the marshmallows and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth.
  • Stir in the cereal until well-coated then immediately transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it into an even layer. 
  • Let the cereal treats cool completely in the pan then slice into bars and serve.

Notes

  • Fresh marshmallows make all of the difference when making any kind of marshmallow treats.
  • When working with marshmallow treats, grease your hands, spatulas and any other utensils with butter or cooking spray. This prevents sticking and makes shaping and pressing the treats easier. Alternatively, to avoid having the treats stick to your hand when pressing them into the pan, wet your hands, shake off any excess and press.
  • When transferring the marshmallow mixture into the pan, use a gentle touch to press it down. Avoid pressing too firmly, as this can result in dense and hard treats.
  • Store the cereal bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. Use parchment or wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
  • This recipe can be easily halved.
