Equipment
8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan
large mixing bowl
medium-large saucepan
Ingredients
6
cups
of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
4
tablespoons
of European style salted butter
10
ounces
Kraft jet puffed marshmallows
Instructions
Grease an 8-inch or 9-inch square pan with butter or nonstick baking spray.
Grease the inside of a large mixing bowl with butter or non-stick baking spray then pour in the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.
Begin to melt the butter in a medium saucepan set over low heat.
Then stir in the marshmallows and allow them to melt, stirring often, until about 75% have melted.
Remove the marshmallows from the heat and stir, smashing them, until they are completely melted.
This keeps your marshmallows from overheating which causes the sugar to caramelize and makes your treats too hard.
Pour the marshmallow mixture over the cereal and toss to coat evenly.
Spread cereal mixture into the prepared pan then set aside for at least 1 hour in order for it to cool before cutting into 16 squares.
Notes
Store the treats in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Optional Microwave Method:
Heat the butter and marshmallows on high for one minute then remove and stir until melted and smooth.
Heat for an additional 15-second burst of high power, only if needed.
Pour over the cereal and continue with the recipe listed above.
