How to Make Homemade Cereal Bars
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- While melting, use a pastry brush to coat the sides of the pan with butter to prevent sticking.
- Add 10 ounces (2 cups) of mini marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly until they are about half melted.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of instant mocha mix (or other flavoring, like cocoa powder).
- Continue stirring until a smooth marshmallow sauce forms.
- Reduce heat to low and add 6 cups of your favorite cereal (such as Rice Krispies, Cheerios, or a mix).
- Mix thoroughly, ensuring all cereal pieces are well coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Generously spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pour the cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Using a piece of parchment paper or foil (sprayed with nonstick spray), firmly press the mixture into the pan to create an even layer.
- Let the bars set in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
