Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cup toasted oat cereal rings
  • 10 oz mini marshmallows
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.125 tsp fine salt
  • 0.5 tbsp unsalted butter for greasing the pan

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment; grease lightly with the extra butter.
  • Warm butter in a large pot over medium-low heat.
  • Stir in marshmallows; cook, stirring, until fully melted and smooth.
  • Remove from heat. Mix in vanilla and a small pinch of salt.
  • Add cereal and fold until every piece is coated.
  • Press mixture into the pan with a buttered spatula, gently.
  • Let cool until set, then cut into squares.

Notes

Try a swirl of 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter with the melted marshmallows, or drizzle the cooled bars with melted white chocolate. For a hint of warmth, add a pinch of cinnamon. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days; briefly microwave a bar for 5–8 seconds to soften.
