Tips:

  • Use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Older marshmallows may not melt as smoothly and can result in a grainy texture.
  • Don't overcook the marshmallows. The mixture should be melted and smooth, but not browned.
  • Add the butter to the melted marshmallows immediately after removing them from the heat. This will help to prevent the marshmallows from setting up too quickly.
  • Stir in the cereal quickly and gently. Overmixing can result in a tough texture.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan. This will help to prevent the treats from crumbling.
  • Let the treats cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the knife.
  • Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
