CEREAL TREATS

INGREDIENTS:
 Butter (salted or unsalted)
 Marshmallows (small or large)
 Any brand of cereal of your choice (Cocoa Puffs, Frosted Flakes etc.)
 Vanilla Extract (optional.)
 Any toppings you want (chocolate chips, gummy bears etc.)

INSTRUCTIONS:
 Start by melting the butter and the marshmallow on low heat.
 As soon as you have a liquid marshmallow mixture, quickly stir it together with your cereal of
choice.
 If you chose to add in solid mix-ins, fold them in quickly after you have combined the cereal. I
always wait to do this until the cereal has been thoroughly mixed so they don’t melt too much if
it is chocolate.
 Transfer the marshmallow treat mixture to the pan. I like to line the pan first with parchment
paper so that I can easily pull the treats out to slice. Make sure you don’t press the mixture
down too firmly. I typically use an oiled offset spatula or you can grease your hands a bit and
 press down with your hands. But compacting the cereal too much will make the treats really
firm and dry.
  cool for about 2 hours before slicing is helpful so they are firm enough. You can also pop them
in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or so to help speed up the process.
