Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 4 cups Mini Marshmallows provide sweetness and a chewy texture; can be replaced with cut-up standard marshmallows
  • 1 cup Smooth Peanut Butter key flavor that holds the bars together; try almond butter for a nut-free alternative
  • 4 cups Cornflake Cereal gives a delightful crunch; opt for gluten-free cornflakes for a gluten-free version if needed
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips for a decadent twist
  • 1/2 cup Crushed Nuts enhance flavor and crunch
  • to taste Drizzle of Chocolate provides an indulgent finish

Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking pan
  • large saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by greasing an 8x8 inch baking pan with nonstick spray. You can line the bottom and sides with parchment paper for easier removal later.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally. After about 5-7 minutes, the butter will turn golden brown.
  3. Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows to the saucepan and stir continuously over low heat until melted, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Turn off the heat and immediately stir in 1 cup of smooth peanut butter until the mixture is silky.
  5. Gently fold in 4 cups of cornflake cereal until all are evenly coated.
  6. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press down firmly to shape the bars.
  7. Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing.
