Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10.4 ounces (295 grams) Franken Berry cereal
- 1 pound (454 grams) mini marshmallows
Binding Ingredients:
- 4.5 tablespoons (67 milliliters) butter
Preparation Ingredients:
(none)
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13 inch pan thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- Place butter in a large saucepan and melt over low heat, maintaining gentle temperature to prevent burning.
- Add mini marshmallows to melted butter, stirring continuously until completely smooth and fully incorporated, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Remove marshmallow mixture from heat and immediately fold in Franken Berry cereal, ensuring every piece receives an even coating of the sticky mixture.
- Transfer the cereal mixture into the prepared pan, using a greased spatula or lightly sprayed hands to distribute and compress the mixture evenly across the surface.
- Allow the krispies to cool and set at room temperature for 20-25 minutes, which helps the marshmallow bind and creates a firm texture.
- Once completely cooled and solidified, slice into square or rectangular portions using a sharp knife, creating uniform treats ready for serving and enjoying.
Notes
- Customize the pan size for different serving needs, using a smaller pan for thicker treats or larger for thinner bars.
- Prevent sticky hands by lightly spraying your utensils and fingers with non-stick cooking spray before mixing and pressing the mixture.
- Control sweetness by adjusting marshmallow quantity or mixing in dark chocolate chips for a more complex flavor profile.
- For gluten-free version, verify Franken Berry cereal ingredients and use certified gluten-free marshmallows if needed.
