4

10

1
teaspoon

1 ½

Instructions
Grease a large mixing bowl, a square 8-inch or 9-inch pan, and a silicone spatula with softened butter or spray with baking spray.
Combine the Kellogg's Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies Cereal and oatmeal in a large mixing bowl.
Begin to melt the butter in a medium saucepan set over low heat.
Stir in 10 ounces of marshmallows and continue to heat over low heat, stirring often, until about 75% of the marshmallows have melted.
Then remove the pan from the heat and stir the marshmallows vigorously, smashing them as needed, until melted.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and oatmeal and toss to evenly coat.
Spread the cereal treat mixture into the greased pan and gently press it into an even layer.
Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
Spread the vanilla frosting over the top of the treats.
Let rest for 2 hours.
Remove from the pan and cut into squares.
Notes
alternate microwave method:
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, place 4 tablespoons of salted butter and 10 ounces of marshmallows.
Microwave on high for 1 minute then remove and stir vigorously, using the residual heat to fully melt the marshmallows.
Once again, you don't want to overheat the marshmallows as this causes your cereal treats to be too hard.
You need to use a large mixing bowl when melting the marshmallows in the microwave as the marshmallows will puff up a lot.
If needed, you may microwave for additional 15-second intervals, stirring vigorously until melted.
Once melted, follow the instructions above.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
