10ouncesmarshmallows (about 6 cups mini OR 40 regular)
Instructions
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.
Notes
To prepare a batch in a 9 x 13 inch pan, use these amounts:
9 ⅔ cups Corn Flakes
6 ½ tablespoons salted butter
16 ounces marshmallows
To melt the marshmallows and butter on the stove-top, start to melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows are 75% melted. Remove from heat and continue to stir until fully melted. NOTE: Do NOT crush or jam the treats into the baking dish. Press evenly, but gently.
