Ingredients
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons salted butter
- 8 cups miniature marshmallows (about 1½ (10-ounce) bags)
- 12.2 ounce box Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal (about 8 cups)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9-inch square pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot over low heat, melt the 5 tablespoons of salted butter. Once fully melted, add 8 cups of miniature marshmallows. Stir constantly until all the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Mix in Cereal: Remove the pot from heat. Immediately stir in 8 cups of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, ensuring every piece is thoroughly coated with the melted marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer and Press: Pour the coated cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Using a spoon or spatula lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, press the mixture down into an even, compact layer.
- Set and Serve: Allow the treats to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once set, cut into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to easily lift the treats out of the pan without sticking.
- For easier pressing, lightly spray your spatula or spoon with non-stick spray.
- Ensure marshmallows are melted completely to uniformly coat the cereal for the best texture.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
- Adjust marshmallow quantity slightly for a chewier or crunchier treat.
