1/4 cup butter
4 cups miniature marshmallows
8 cups Rice Chex cereal
2 cups milk chocolate M & M's

  • Press the batter firmly into the pan: This will help to prevent the snack bars from crumbling.
  • Bake the snack bars until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the snack bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the snack bars in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to 3 days.
