Time 1h15m

Yield 12 bars

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking dish
3 1/2 cups toasted oat cereal
1 cup mini marshmallows
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine the oat cereal and marshmallows in a large bowl.
Combine the butter, brown sugar, honey and salt in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute, then carefully stir in the vanilla. Add the cereal mixture and stir to coat completely.
Spread the mixture in the prepared baking dish and press into an even layer. Allow to cool and set, about 1 hour, before cutting into squares.

Tips:

Use a large mixing bowl to combine the ingredients. This will make it easier to mix everything thoroughly.
Make sure the butter is softened before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help the mixture to come together smoothly.
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan. This will help the bars to hold their shape when they are cut.
Bake the bars for the recommended amount of time. Underbaking the bars will make them too soft, while overbaking them will make them too hard.
Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
