Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 5 1/2 cups Honey Nut Cheerios (gluten free)
- Rainbow sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Heat marshmallows and butter: Place the mini marshmallows and butter in an extra large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until the marshmallows begin to expand and soften.
- Mix and coat Cheerios: Stir the melted marshmallows and butter together until smooth. Add the Honey Nut Cheerios and mix thoroughly to coat them completely with the marshmallow mixture.
- Spread in pan: Line a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with wax paper or parchment paper. Evenly spread the coated Cheerios mixture into the pan and flatten it out. Sprinkle rainbow sprinkles on top if desired.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the treats for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and firm up. Once chilled, cut into bars and serve. Enjoy your sweet, crunchy snack!
Notes
- Use gluten-free Honey Nut Cheerios to keep the treats gluten free.
- For easier cutting, let the treats sit at room temperature a few minutes after removing them from the fridge.
- You can substitute regular marshmallows if mini are not available, but adjust melting time accordingly.
- Feel free to add other mix-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips for variation.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
