Tips:
- Use high-quality gluten-free Chex cereal. This will ensure that your treats are crispy and flavorful.
- Be careful not to overcook the marshmallows. If you overcook them, they will become tough and chewy.
- If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the marshmallows in a saucepan over low heat.
- Add your favorite mix-ins to the treats. Some popular options include chocolate chips, peanut butter cups, and dried fruit.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help them to hold their shape.
