Notes
- Use parchment paper to line the baking dish. This makes it easier to remove the treats from the dish.
- Use large, fresh marshmallows. I find the larger marshmallows give a better texture.
- Make sure not to press too hard. Gently press the cereal mixture into the dish. This helps keep them soft and "fluffy".
- If you have a crowd, they can be made in a 9 x 13 dish. The treats will be a little thinner.
- Add colorful sprinkles after putting in the dish to add some fun color.
- Like sweet and savory? Add a few pinches of flaked salt to the top.
