Tips:

  • Use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Old marshmallows may not melt properly and can make the treats too chewy.
  • Do not overcook the marshmallows. Overcooked marshmallows will make the treats too hard and dry.
  • Add the cereal to the marshmallow mixture immediately after it is melted. The cereal will help to prevent the marshmallows from becoming too hard.
  • Press the treats firmly into the pan. This will help to keep them from crumbling.
  • Let the treats cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the knife.
  • Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Candy cereal treats are a quick and easy snack or dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are also a great way to use up leftover cereal.
