Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 45m

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more softened for pan
1 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
1 recipe mix-ins (see below)
5 cups chocolate puffed rice cereal, such as Cocoa Krispies
1 cup cocktail peanuts, roughly chopped
1/2 cup chopped semisweet chocolate
5 cups puffed oat cereal, such as Puffins
1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
1/2 cup toasted pepitas
5 cups flaked corn cereal, such as Corn Flakes
1/2 cup chopped dried tropical fruit, such as mango and/or pineapple
1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
5 cups whole-grain oat cereal, such as Cheerios
3/4 cup chopped freeze-dried raspberries
3/4 cup chopped white chocolate

Steps:

  • Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with softened butter. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add marshmallows; cook, stirring, until melted. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in cereal and chosen mix-ins to combine. Press into prepared pan; let stand until firm, about 1 hour. Cut into squares and serve, or store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh candy corn, marshmallows, and butter will give your cereal treats the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the marshmallows: Overcooked marshmallows will make your cereal treats tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are melted and smooth.
  • Add the candy corn and cereal immediately: Once the marshmallows are melted, add the candy corn and cereal immediately and stir until combined. If you wait too long, the marshmallows will start to set and it will be difficult to mix in the other ingredients.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan: Use a lightly greased spatula to press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan. This will help to keep the cereal treats from crumbling.
  • Chill the cereal treats before cutting: Once the cereal treats are pressed into the pan, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cutting. This will make them easier to cut and will help to prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

No-bake candy corn cereal treats are a quick, easy, and delicious treat that is perfect for Halloween or any other occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With these tips, you can make the perfect batch of no-bake candy corn cereal treats that will be a hit at your next party or gathering.
