Colorful Marshmallow Cereal Treats
Dudeee when’s the last time you had a marshmallow cereal treat and I’m not talking about a Rice Krispie treat you picked up at the gas station as an impulse buy. I’m taking about the homemade kind where you melt butter down, add marshmallows and cereal and then try not to eat it all off the spatula before you press it into a pan?
Well these marshmallow cereal treats are nothing like either of those. They are made with brown butter which makes them have this nutty, salty flavor going on. I also use equal parts marshmallow to cereal cause the OG recipe just skimps on the good stuff and they dry out too easily and then I’m switching things up and using some tropical sugary marshmallowy filled cereal because #quarantinelife am I right?
This recipe is super easy to make and I did it in less than 15 minutes with Milly helping. I will say that I prefer the Lucky Charms cereal bar over the straight Trix. If I had some rice cereal I would have done half rice cereal and half of the Trix to make it the perfect balance but beware the Trix bars are super sweet but you’ll be fine.
If all these cereals are overwhelming you then move right along OR just follow my recipe and swap these cereals for some rice cereal-just don’t forget to brown the butter and add equal parts marshmallow! Scroll down for the recipe below and then post your pics on IG and tag me @BrandiMilloy
