Tips:
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Stale marshmallows will make the cereal treats tough and chewy.
- Don't overcook the marshmallows. Overcooked marshmallows will make the cereal treats too hard.
- Add the cereal to the marshmallow mixture immediately after removing it from the heat. This will help to prevent the marshmallows from hardening.
- Press the cereal treats firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
- Let the cereal treats cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the knife.
- Store the cereal treats in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.
