Crispy and chewy marshmallow cereal treats made with Kellogg's Cinnamon Sugar Krispies cereal. These cinnamon-flavored treats are easy to make using the stovetop or microwave.
6tablespoonssalted butter(European-style butter for the best flavor)
16ouncesmarshmallows
Optional Ingredient
½teaspooncinnamon to sprinkle on top
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch pan, an extra-large mixing bowl, and a silicone spatula or wooden spoon with butter.
Pour the cereal into the extra-large mixing bowl and set aside.
Cut the butter into small pieces, and set in a medium-large saucepan.
Set the pan on the stove over LOW heat.
Allow the butter to being melting, then pour the marshmallows over top.
Stir often until about 75% of the marshmallows have melted, then remove the pan from the heat and stir the marshmallows until melted and smooth. By allowing the residual heat in the pan to continue to melt the marshmallows you will ensure your treats are nice and chewy not hard.
Alternatively, you can melt the butter and marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave. Heat them on high power for 1 minute. Allow the bowl to rest in the warm microwave for 3 minutes then remove and stir until the marshmallows melt completely. If needed, heat for 15 more seconds then stir.
Pour the melted marshmallows over the cereal and stir until well combined.
Spread the cereal treat mixture into the greased pan and gently press it into an even layer. Do not press too firmly or the treats will be too hard.
Set the pan aside for a minimum of 30 minutes before cutting the treats into 15 rectangles.
Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon over the top of the treats.
