TIPS
Do not overheat your marshmallows or your treats will be too hard.
Use fresh marshmallows as old marshmallows that have dried out will make dry treats.
If you use store-brand marshmallows that are stickier than our recommended Jet-Puffed Marshmallows, be sure to add extra cereal.
Do not compact the cereal treats in the pan or your treats will be too hard.
Do not pour the cereal into a hot pan of melted marshmallows because the cereal will get too warm causing it to soften and making your treats taste stale.
Allow the treats to cool for at least 30 minutes before spreading on the frosting or your frosting may melt.
Storage
The treats will taste best if eaten the day they are frosted. The frosting will eventually soften the treats. You can store the frosted treats in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
