Ingredients

Cooking spray
1 box Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal 18 ounces
20 ounces Mini Marshmallows (2 bags)
½ cup Salted Butter (1 stick)

Instructions

Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Cut the butter into 8 smaller pieces and add the marshmallows and butter to a large microwave safe bowl.
Microwave for about 2 minutes or until the marshmallows have risen and puffed near the top of the bowl. If 2 minutes is not enough, add another 30 seconds.
Remove the bowl from microwave and stir the marshamallows and butter with a spatula until smooth. Mix the box of cereal into the bowl and stir to coat all the cereal.
Place the cereal and marshmallow mixture into the baking dish and press evenly. Let the cereal bars rest for one hour to set. Cut into 12 even sized squares and enjoy!

Notes

Cereal bars can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or stored in an air tight container for up to 3 days.

Wet hands when pressing cereal bars into the baking dish as this will make things easier.

This recipe makes thick bars. If you would like thinner ones, the recipe can be halved.

To make these without a microwave, melt butter over medium heat in a large non stick pot. Reduce heat to low, then add marshmallows and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until melted and combined. Remove pot from heat and stir in cereal. Mix well then place in baking dish and continue with instructions above.
