Ingredients
Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons butter
- 10 ounce bag mini marshmallows
- 12 ounce box Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the dish: Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the bars will come out easily after they set.
- Melt butter and marshmallows: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter along with the mini marshmallows, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Continue until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, then remove from heat.
- Mix cereal: Stir in the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal thoroughly until every piece is coated with the marshmallow mixture, which will take a few minutes to blend well.
- Add chocolate chips: You can stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips immediately to allow them to melt into the mixture, or transfer the mixture to another bowl to cool slightly for a few minutes before folding in the chips if you prefer them less melted.
- Shape the treats: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly to form a thick layer.
- Cool and slice: Let the mixture cool completely at room temperature until it sets firmly, then slice into bars and serve.
Notes
- Do not overheat marshmallows as they can burn and become bitter.
- Cooling the mixture before adding chocolate chips can help keep chocolate pieces more intact for texture variation.
- Use nonstick spray or grease the baking dish well to make removing the treats easier.
- These treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the cereal with a certified gluten-free sweetened cereal.
