If you're a fan of the classic Corn Flakes cereal, you'll LOVE these Corn Flakes treats! Ooey gooey and delicious.
how to make Rice Krispie Treats with Corn Flakes
As always, we start with our BEST award-winning Rice Krispie treat recipe, and adjust for all of our cereal treats to give you the most delicious treats.
Corn Flakes, Kellogg's first cereal, is a star of breakfast history, so we just had to add Corn Flakes marshmallow treats to our collection of cereal treats!
The result is a perfect mix of ooey gooey buttery marshmallow and crispy, crunchy cereal.
you will need:
CORN FLAKES
Cereal, of course! Here, I use 6 cups of the original Kellogg's brand corn flakes.
MARSHMALLOWS
These cereal treats use 10 ounces of marshmallows. This is about 40 regular size OR 6 cups of mini. However, different brands of marshmallows have different weights and densities.
Kraft's Jet-Puffed are used here.
Check out our marshmallow conversion chart to make sure you're using the correct amount.
BUTTER
Our extensive taste testing revealed a butter winner! We recommend using European-style, SALTED butter for best results. You'll need 4 tablespoons.
BAKING PAN
The batch shown here is made in an 8 x 8 inch square pan. (Read on for instructions to make a large batch.)
COOKING SPRAY
To make life easy, I use non-stick spray on my bowls and spatulas. I suggest a canola oil to minimize interfering in the taste.
NONSTICK FOIL
You may also grease your baking pan with cooking spray, but I find the best option is to line your baking pan with non-stick foil.
how do I make a larger batch of Corn Flakes marshmallow treats?
To prepare Corn Flakes treats in a 9 x 13 inch baking pan, follow the instructions in the recipe card using these amounts:
- 9 ⅔ cups Corn Flakes
- 6 ½ tablespoons salted butter
- 16 ounces marshmallows
How do I make cereal treats in the microwave?
Grease a large bowl and add the cereal.
Line your baking dish with non-stick foil and set aside.
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, place the marshmallows and butter, cut in pieces.
Microwave for 1 minute.
Stir well, using the residual heat to fully melt the marshmallows. If needed, microwave another 15 seconds, but you do NOT want to overheat the mixture.
Pour the mixture over the cereal.
Combine gently but thoroughly.
Transfer to the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Press down lightly with a spatula. You do not want to smush the mixture too tightly.
Let set at least one hour before cutting into squares.
Store in an air-tight container up to a week.
How do I make cereal treats on the stove-top?
You can also melt the marshmallows and butter on the stove-top.
Begin to melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
Stir in the marshmallows, stirring often, until about 75% have melted.
Remove from the heat and continue to stir until the marshmallows are fully melted.
